(BBC) The highest-ranking police officer in the emergency response to the Manchester Arena bombing has agreed a tactical commander was “not competent.”
Deputy Chief Constable Debbie Ford told the Manchester Arena inquiry she had felt a “growing unease” Supt Arif Nawaz was not doing what he should.
On Monday, Supt Nawaz told the inquiry he did not have the training to carry out the role of commander.
DCC Ford told the hearing he was “not the right man for the job.”
She said that was “a fair assessment, because he hadn’t been given the training or knowledge that he should have had to fulfil that role that night.”
