Antigua and Barbuda\'s Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer is scheduled to address the nation tonight to explain why police chief Gary Nelson lost his job last week.



The Canadian-born police commissioner had held the post for five months.



On Saturday, Commissioner Nelson received a letter from the Police Service Commission confirming his dismissal.



One of Mr. Nelson\'s deputies, Tom Bennett, has been named as acting commissioner until a new top cop is appointed.
