The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the appointment and deployment of eight new Commissioners of Police across the country.
Daily News 24 reports that the appointment was revealed in a statement on Friday.
In its recommendation, the Commission commended the acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for adhering to the Commission’s latest Policy on gender sensitivity.
The Commission, on the other hand, urged the IGP to include more Officers from the North East and South East geopolitical zones that have yet to meet the benchmark of 15% set at its last Plenary Meeting.
Godwin Aghaulor, now CP Borno State Command, Adelesi E. Oluwarotimi, CP Kwara State Command, Adebola Ayinde Hamzat, CP Oyo State Command, Augustina Ogbodo, CP Ebonyi State Command, and Samuel Titus Musa, CP Kebbi State Command are the newly appointed State Commissioners of Police.
Aderemi Olufemi Adeoye, CP Anambra State Command; Stephen Olarewaju, CP Imo State Command; and Alamatu Abiodun Mustapha, CP Ogun State Command are among the others.
Dr. Solomon Arase, Chairman of the Commission, stated that the postings recommended by the acting Inspector General of Police were on average, fair, and commended the IGP for including women.
