“I didn’t anticipate this. I never anticipated being held without being questioned. I only made an effort to quit. My letters of resignation from the Police have not been accepted since last year.
Over her departure, the Lagos Police Command and one of its officers, Fauzziyah Isiak, have exchanged accusations and denials.
On social media, Fauzziyah claimed that the Force had rejected her resignation. The officer with the Lagos Police Command claimed in a series of tweets that the police had rejected her resignation.
“I didn’t anticipate this. I never anticipated being held without being questioned. I only made an effort to quit. My letters of resignation from the Police have not been accepted since last year, she said.
“On May 24, my employer had phoned to ask me to come in for an interview with the Deputy Commissioner. My resignation was finally being approved, I thought, but all I heard was that I should be held until my dismissal hearing and trial. I couldn’t speak as the police escorted me away because I was so shocked.
Later, I learned that my lack of action made things worse when I should have pleaded and sobbed. After it all hit me, I sobbed uncontrollably. I haven’t removed my clothing or shoes since yesterday. Even changing my sanitary pad is impossible. My head is going to burst from weariness and my migraine is aching fiercely.
“My mother phoned and said she had been told to come and beg me to keep working. I’ve been employed for six years, and I believe it is just to let someone go if they no longer want to work there and to help them go if they want.
“This is the first time I’ve been in a situation like this; I’ve always been very laid-back.” I have always been employed by the Nigeria Police’s administrative division, which is really its religion division. I always step away if I feel I am not giving a job or profession my whole focus because I believe in pursuing anything with enthusiasm.
This surprised me much. I never anticipated being held without being questioned. I only made an effort to quit. I’ve been attempting to leave the Police since last year, but my letters have not been accepted. On May 24, my employer had contacted me to ask me to
“I don’t know how long I’ll be here for but I really need to sleep,” she said, noting that the development has traumatized her mother. I may not have lived to this far if the ladies in the provost’s office hadn’t given me some Paracetamol yesterday afternoon. I don’t sure how long I’ll be here, but if you could give me a blanket and a sanitary pad, that would be great.
“I’m going to lose my life to the cold. The mosquitoes sing in my ears while I sit here all night. I kept talking to them and asking them why they are holding me down and making fun of me when they could have stamped my letter and told me what to do. It’s difficult for me to understand what my mother would be going through after learning that her daughter is being held and that she has to go to Ikeja to make a case for her release. My mother is responsible for taking care of me alone; she has never had to do this before.
“If my dad were still alive, I wonder what he would have thought. He was such a serene man. His response was usually on point. I really need to return home. I have no idea who will read this. I’m about to lose my phone. This is a request for aid. To my house, please. Please locate me, Fauzziyah Ebunoluwa Isiak.
Getting the facts straight
However, Benjamin Hundeyin, a spokesperson for the Lagos State Police, said that, unlike other organizations, the Force had a resignation procedure.
STRAIGHTENING OUT THE RECORDS: Submitting your resignation is one thing. It is a different matter when your application is approved and you obtain your discharge certificate,” he wrote.
You are still subject to all current service rules and regulations up to the point at which you get your discharge certificate.
She was also charged with violating the police code of conduct by evading her duties, according to Hundeyin.
“@PoliceNG, if you skip work for twenty-one days without a reason or authorization, you will be considered a deserter. The spokesperson said, “Every serving member is aware of this.
“Corporal Fauzziyah Isiak, who holds the position of Imam of the Command, evaded duty for more than a month in blatant violation of the terms of service she voluntarily agreed to, without receiving leave, authorization, or dismissal from service.
She was held yesterday in order to begin her orderly room trial today for this offense against discipline. Second, she intentionally tarnished the reputation of the Force by falsifying or misrepresenting the truth, which is another disciplinary offense.
However, she would have a chance to defend herself at the trial, after which a judgment would be reached.
