The Commission said the officer’s action amounted to serious misconduct in violation of Rules 0327 (xxviii and xxix) of the Bauchi State Public Service Rules.
In a statement on Thursday, the spokesperson of the commission, Saleh Umar, said the decision was reached during its 32nd plenary session held on September 11, 2025.
“The disciplinary action was taken against the officer after general disciplinary procedures had been exhausted as contained in Rules 0317 of the Public Service Rules and Regulations,” the statement read.

In the same vein, 80 Nursing Officers and Nursing Superintendents were promoted to their next grades, ranging from levels 10 to 14.
The spokesperson said the decisions were based on submissions from the Bauchi State Special School Management Board, the State Public Procurement and Physical Development Board, and the Health Management Board.
Commenting on the dismissal, the Chairman of the commission, Ibrahim Muhammad, confirmed that due process was strictly followed in line with established regulations.
He stressed that the decision was not punitive but necessary to uphold discipline and integrity within the service.
Former glamour model Katie Price is ‘following everything the vets have told her’ as she sparks concern for her four kittens who have been travelling the UK with her

Katie Price has faced concern over the health of her kittens after one died and the others had to be taken to the emergency vets. The former glamour model, 47, has previously been hit with calls and petitions for her to be banned from owning pets.
Just a few weeks ago, her sphynx cat Doris gave birth to a litter of kittens. Sadly, one of them died shortly afterwards and became the eight animal to die in Katie’s care.
The other kittens have also suffered a decline in health and have been bottle fed by the mum-of-five and boyfriend JJ Salter after Doris contracted an infection. It meant she was unable to feed her kittens as she was placed on antibiotics.

Katie has now kicked off her UK tour with Kerry Katona, with the four kittens travelling the country with her. This week, Katie became distressed when JJ found the little cats limp and unwell.
“All of them now have declined so bad even though we took them to the vets earlier,” she said on Snapchat. “JJ had to rush them to the emergency vets.
“We’re on our way back to the vets, it’s not looking good. Fingers crossed, they are like our babies. We’re doing everything we can. We’re just gutted at the minute. And we’ll be gutted if they can’t do anything for them.”
Katie later revealed they had been kept in overnight, and Doris’ condition had improved. She told her followers: “Good morning, didn’t have a very good sleep last night at all.
“The vets ringing us three times in the night. I’ll give you an update on the kittens again just not in the right frame of mind. But Doris is alright.”
The TV star confirmed Doris has now returned home but has not shared an update on her kittens. A spokesperson for Katie told the Mirror: “Kate has been taking advice from the vets and has been following everything the vets have told her to do in regards to the kittens.”
The RSPCA say kittens need to be kept with their mother until at least eight to nine weeks of age. Kittens can meet other healthy fully vaccinated cats and dogs, as well as other people and children from eight to 12 weeks.
This week, Katie was spotted cradling one of her kittens as she left her theatre show on Monday in Chester. She explained on Facebook: “They were born two weeks premature and we have been bottle feeding them as well as their mum feeding them.
“But they’ve all been really healthy. We’re all really attached to them, they look at me like they’re second mum because obviously I feed them.”
She explained: “So JJ calls and says he thinks two of the kittens are dead because they’re not moving. He showed them me and they were all limp with their tongues out, two of them. I said you need to get them to the vets straight away.
“He took them to the vet and the vet said it would be best to let them go basically, put them to sleep. I said, ‘No chance they must be able to do something.’ Thank God I didn’t go with what the vet said. £1400 later they are now home. I’m just keeping a close eye on them. Thank god because they are like my babies.”

The global superstar filmed a cosy music video with this Bridgerton star for new song Camera ahead of the release of his highly anticipated album Play, which has been released today

Ed Sheeran and Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor got close in the new music video for his song Camera, which features on his latest album Play. The highly anticipated eighth album is released today (12 September).
The singer celebrated the release of his latest record by dropping the official music video for Camera. The video stars Bridgerton icon Phoebe Dynevor. Directed by Emil Nava, the same person who worked with Ed on the Lego House music video starring Rupert Grint, the Camera music video focuses on the early stages of a relationship.
It’s all shot on an iPhone and shows Ed and Phoebe’s characters first meeting at a restaurant, followed by moments from various dates, such as picnics, bar-hopping and even sharing the stage at one of Ed’s stadium tours.

When announcing the project, Ed revealed he had considered using real-life footage of him and his wife, Cherry. But, ultimately, he chose to keep those moments private and recreate them instead.
“My original Camera music video idea was using private home footage of mine and Cherry’s key moments of our relationship,” Ed said.
“But as you guys know, we are an intensely private couple, and some things we wanted to keep just for us. So, I recreated a few key moments of our relationship for the music video with the wonderful Phoebe Dynevor.”
Ed’s latest album has been described by the singer as “a direct response” to the “darkest period of my life”. He explained in a press release that he “wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in countries I was touring.”
The singer is no stranger to travelling the world and has recently stated he has plans to move to the United States with his family. His reasoning was that he has a massive tour planned and doesn’t want to leave Cherry or his two daughters, Lyra and Jupiter, in Suffolk. And though he grew up in Suffolk, where the family currently lives, he also spent a lot of time in Ireland as a child, as his father hails from Belfast.
Due to his father’s heritage and how often he spent time in the country, Ed once referred to himself as “culturally” Irish, sparking backlash. On the Louis Theroux Podcast, he said: “I class my culture as Irish. I think that’s what I grew up with. My dad’s family is … he’s got seven brothers and sisters. We’d spend all of our holidays in Ireland.

“My first musical experiences were in Ireland, I grew up with trad music in the house. So I identify culturally as Irish, but I was obviously born and raised in Britain.”

He went on to say that he thought of Ireland as his “second home musically” and added that it is the place he is the most successful. The Galway Girl singer said he didn’t “overthink” it and was proud of his culture and identity.
“I don’t overthink it but I do feel like my culture is something that I’m really proud of.”
Award-winning TV star Jeremy Clarkson has shared his thoughts on celebrities that are choosing to buy properties in the Cotswolds and move to the picturesque region

The beautiful Cotswolds never ceases to wow visitors thanks to it’s picturesque, sweet chocolate-box villages with cosy countryside pubs and incredible gardens. Some have become so obsessed with the incredible region that they have decided to call it home – including a number of celebrities.
The Beckhams have set up home as has Kate Moss. Simon Cowell is also rumoured to have a home in the Cotswolds. Plus the King famously has a home in Tetbury. It seems US celebrities have also shown an interest as Ellen DeGeneres is rumoured to have bought a £15million Cotswolds farmhouse, while Taylor Swift rented a mansion in the Cotswolds during her Eras tour in 2024.
And recently, it’s been reported that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are in the final stages of purchasing land with the intent to build a “mega-estate” on the edge of Wigginton, an Oxfordshire village which currently boasts a population of under 200.
Mr and Mrs Carter, who are reportedly worth around $3.4billion (£2.5billion) – making them the richest celebrity couple in the world – are reportedly paying a £7.5million fee for property. The couple reportedly began searching for new places to live during the LA wildfires earlier this year.
It seems that the quiet nature of the area appeals to people, but could celebrities moving to the Cotswolds change it?

Speaking to The Times, an employee of The Falkland Arms in Great Tew, where the Beckhams live, said: “We love our local clientele and we don’t want the couple’s [Jay-Z and Beyonce’s] arrival to bring in a different sort.”
Recently former Top Gear star and Cotswolds farmer Jeremy Clarkson shared his take on the countryside spot becoming more popular with A-Listers. Clarkson moved to the Cotswolds in 2008 when he bought the 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, West Oxfordshire. He and his partner Lisa Hogan live in a mansion on the estate.
While celebrating his Amazon Prime video show, Clarkson’s Farm, winning Best Factual Entertainment Programme at the National Television Awards recently, Jeremy was asked what he thought about Beyoncé and Jay-Z buying a home in the Costwolds.

In a clip shared on TikTok by Yahoo News, Jeremy said: “I have literally no clue who they are. I mean I’ve vaguely heard of Beyonce Jay-Zed but I honestly don’t know who they are.”
He added: “And everybody says the Cotswolds is being taken over by celebrities and… you just think, well I don’t see them. I look out of my window in a morning and I don’t see them.”
