Teacher drags police before Ondo panel of inquiry over lack of promotion

A teacher, Akintola Taofik is currently seeking redress for not being promoted in the last 14 years he has been working under the Nigerian Police Force Education.

The petitioner made this known before the Ondo State Panel of Inquiry on Police Brutality on Friday.

Taofik said he has suffered economic and psychological brutality during the period.

He claimed that since being employed in 2007 as a teacher, he has remained on grade level 8 at the Police Secondary School, Ita-Ogbolu in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.

He disclosed that this forced him to bring his matter to the Ondo State Panel of Inquiry on Police Brutality.

The petitioner is requesting the panel to look into his case, against the Nigerian police over alleged refusal to acknowledge a court order to promote him and his colleagues to their due ranks since 2007.

His counsel, Adeyinka Fadumoye appealed to the panel to look into the case, which has previously been handled and judgement served by the industrial court which action has not been taken.
