Tinubu fires Arase, appoints Argungu as new Police commission chairman

President Bola Tinubu has appointed Hashimu Argungu, a retired police officer, as the chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC).

Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, announced the appointment in a statement released on Monday.

Ngelale said other PSC members will be appointed in due course, adding that the appointments are subject to confirmation by the senate.

The president also appointed Mohammed Sheidu as the executive secretary of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund (NPTF) with immediate effect.

 

Argungu will succeed Solomon Arase, a former inspector-general of police (IGP), as chairman of PSC.

In March 2023, former President Muhammadu Buhari swore in Arase as the PSC chairman after confirmation by the senate.

Arase retired from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in 2016 after serving as the 18th IGP.
