Six States Get New Commissioners Of Police

The Police Service Commission has approved the appointment and posting of six new Commissioners of Police.

The appointments and postings were sequel to recent promotions in the Nigeria Police Force released by the Commission last week.

In the new appointments, CP Shettima Jauro Mohammed was posted to Nasarawa State Command; Rabin Mohamned is now CP, Kaduna State Command; and Adepoju Olugbenga Adewale posted to Rivers State Command.

Others are Mohammed Baba Azare, now CP, Akwa Ibom State Command; Wilfred Olatokunbo Afolabi, new CP, Ondo State Command; and Joseph Eribo, former CP, Akwa Ibom State, now moved to Ekiti State as the new CP, Ekiti State Command.

According to a statement issued on Tuesday by the Head of Press and Public Relations of the PSC, Ikechukwu Ani, the Commission’s Chairman, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police Hashimu Argungu, said the new appointees should see their appointments as a call to national service.

Argungu implored them to be committed to the government’s drive to stabilise the nation and effectively ensure that “our states are free of crime and criminality”.

He said the Commission will continue to monitor their progress report and will encourage them to succeed in their new endeavours.

The PSC boss charged them to reciprocate the government’s gesture by rededicating themselves to the service of their fatherland.
