The affected policemen comprised 37 Inspectors, 67 Sergeants and 11 Corporals were asked to leave the PMF with immediate effect.

The Nation learnt that the demobilisation of the affected policemen was part of strategies to reorganise the PMF for effective performance.
Most of the affected cops were said to have spent four years and above as PMF operatives and there was need to return them into mainstream policing so that they will have all round experience.
Spokesman Frank Mba, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) said he was not aware of the de-mobilisation. He promised to find out and revert but was yet to do so at the time of this report.
