The Police Service Commission has announced the removal of Naja’atu Muhammad as the North-West coordinator of the Commission for election duty in the February 25 and March 11 general polls.

The commission's spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, in a statement said the commission is committed to free and fair elections and will contribute its quota to the sustenance of democracy.

He said the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Bawa Lawal who is from the same geopolitical zone as Naja’atu will take over the coordination of the monitoring of police conduct in the zone.

Naja’atu’s replacement followed a protest by the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), rejecting her appointment.
