Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Musiliu Smith, has blamed the recent #EndSARS protests in the country on misconduct of some police officers.
Smith, a former Inspector General of Police (IGP), made this declaration in Abuja during a retreat with the IGP Mohammed Adamu and police management team. He decried the level of misconduct in the Nigeria Police Force saying the PSC was often inundated with complaints from Nigerians across the country.
“We are always having plenty of complaints from members of the public against police officers and I believe that the #EndSARS protests was caused by misconduct of some personnel.

“I advise that we review the arrangements being made for investigating such cases. It should be such that we will ensure that investigations are thoroughly conducted and any police officer indicted will be punished according to the law. If we do that, some of the complaints will reduce,” he said.
