A total of 93 policemen drawn from various divisions and units of the Gombe State command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have been promoted to different ranks.
The commissioner of police in charge of the command, Ishola Babaita, yesterday decorated the newly elevated officers.
He said 50 inspectors got promotion to the ranks of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASPs), 23 Assistant Superintendent of Police to confirmed ASPs, while 20 confirmed ASPs were uplifted to DSPs respectively.
He charged the newly decorated police officers to behave in a more matured and disciplined manner pointing out that they are now superior police officers.
The commissioner of police noted that recently, a total of 317 police sergeants in the state got promoted to the position of inspectors.
He said the state command recommended the promoted officers to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) in consideration of their commitment to duties.
He urged them to reciprocate the gesture by rededicating themselves to protecting the lives and property of the citizens.
“I urge you to be on your toes to rid the state of criminal elements. I also want to express appreciation to the IGP for his support to the state command,” he said.
