Former Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan, Moses Jitoboh, has passed away.
Jitoboh, a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police
from Bayelsa state, served as ADC to Jonathan during his tenure as Vice
President under the late President Umaru Yar’Adua from 2007 to 2010.
According to renowned journalist Jackson Udeh, the
former police chief died today at Garki General Hospital in Abuja due to blood
clots in his lungs.
Mr. Jitoboh’s career in the police force came to an
abrupt end following his compulsory retirement after the appointment of the
current Inspector General of Police. He subsequently approached the National
Industrial Court in Abuja, alleging that he had been forced out of the Nigeria
Police Force (NPF).
In his court filing, Jitoboh claimed he was
compulsorily retired by the Police Service Commission (PSC) despite not having
reached the mandatory retirement age of 60 or having served the required 35
years.
