June 30, (THEWILL) – The Police Service Commission (PSC), has approved the appointment and deployment of eight Commissioners of Police (CPs), to State Commands.
The Commission in a statement issued Friday, by its Spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, said the new CPs include Aderemi Olufemi Adeoye, CP Anambra State Command; Stephen Olarewaju, CP Imo State Command; and Alamatu Abiodun Mustapha, CP Ogun State Command.
Others are Godwin Aghaulor, now CP Borno State Command; Adebola Ayinde Hamzat, CP Oyo State Command; and Samuel Titus Musa, CP Kebbi State Command.
Also appointed are two female police commissioners, CP Adelesi E. Oluwarotimi, for Kwara State Command and CP Augustina Ogbodo, for Ebonyi State Command.
The Commission also commended the acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for adhering to its latest policy on gender sensitivity in his recommendation.
It, however, expects that the Inspector General in his subsequent proposals, will include more Officers from the North-East and South-East geopolitical zones that have yet to record the benchmark of 15 percent as decided at its last plenary meeting.
The Commission’s Chairman, Dr Solomon Arase, a retired Inspector General of Police, said the postings as recommended by the acting Inspector General of Police were, on average, fair and commended the IGP for the inclusion of women.
Dr Arase advised that the acting IGP consider the disadvantaged geo-political zones while forwarding subsequent proposals for the Commission’s ratification.
