The Nigeria Police Force has postponed the election for the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) in Zone 13, originally scheduled for July 8, 2026.

The decision comes after allegations that the National Chairman, Alhaji Ibrahim Olaniyan Mogaji, failed to follow proper procedures by not submitting candidate names for screening and allegedly promoting preferred candidates.

The AIG of Police Zone 13, Godwin Iguh Eze, cited procedural issues like lack of nomination forms and absence during the election day as reasons for the delay.Sources say Olaniyan was upset about the postponement and tried to lobby senior officers to reverse the decision.Critics accuse him of turning PCRC into a personal interest-driven organization with financial misconduct claims.The postponement highlights ongoing tensions within police leadership over transparency and accountability in internal elections.
