Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated in Abuja on Saturday that the invalidation took effect from December 2022.
He added the decision was in line with the zeal of Mr Baba to sanitise and standardise all sectors of the force, including the PCRC.
Adejobi stated also that the IGP also ordered the redesign and re-issuance of new PCRC identity cards from the Force Headquarters, Abuja, after the scrupulous screening of membership across the board.
