“Our concern comes from the fact that a public officer who misleads the president is causing confusion in the country and may lead to chaos which is antithetical to his duty as a police officer.
“His attitude has become only a replica of the biblical Haman who in deceiving his principal wanted to wipe out an entire nation but for the timely intervention of God. So we call on the president to responsibly relieve him of his duties for the following reasons.
Adoyi also alleged that some elements in the police commission, attempted to smuggle 1,000 names into the recruitment list.
He said: “We have been furnished with reliable information indicating that elements within the Police Force attempted to smuggle over 1,000 names into the recruitment list.
“This manipulation was a grave breach of the recruitment process and a calculated attempt to undermine the credibility of the entire exercise.”
