Mr Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public Relations of the commission disclosed this to newsmen in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

“The officer in his representation has stated that he did not indulge in the allegations levelled against him and denied same while pleading for exculpation.
“He, however, recalls his encounter with the aides of a former IGP and his detention at the Maitama police station without any known offence.
“The commission is convinced after going through his representation that he is not guilty as charged and lifted his suspension,” he said.
