According to the statements which were shared on his official X handle, he pointed out that his insistence on justice saved the careers of several police officers.
Moses Jitoboh, the former deputy inspector general of police who tragically lost his life after fighting tirelessly to challenge his forceful retirement from the police force was recently on the spotlight after reports of his strong actions went viral across various social media platforms.
The erstwhile deputy inspector general of police was overlooked, as a junior officer was appointed as the Inspector-general and was forcibly retired by the Police Service Commission (PSC), an act which triggered massive public backlash.
However, following series of legal battles, the national industrial court ruled that his forceful retirement was illegal, and the PSC lacked the powers to retire him.
The judgement, which was widely celebrated, however came late as Moses Jitoboh tragically lost his life days prior.
Chidi Odinkalu, a respected human rights activist and legal practitioner in a recent statement which was shared on his official X handle, lauded the contributions of the former deputy inspector general, describing him as the savior of several police officers.
According to his statements, the outspoken legal practitioner pointed out that because he (Moses Jitoboh) insisted on justice, the careers of eight deputy inspector generals and twenty one assistant inspector generals were saved.
