The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the appointment and deployment of eight commissioners of police to state commands in the country.
The new state commissioners of police are; Godwin Aghaulor now CP Borno State command; Adelesi 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.
Others are Aderemi Olufemi Adeoye, CP Anambra State command; Stephen Olarewaju, CP Imo State command and Alamatu Abiodun Mustapha, CP Ogun State command.
In a statement by the PSC, 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 the average, fair and commended the IGP for the inclusion of women.
Dr. Arase advised that the acting IGP should consider the disadvantaged geo-political zones while forwarding subsequent proposals for the commission’s ratification.
The commission urged the IGP to include more officers of North East and South East geopolitical zones that are yet to record the benchmark of 15 percent as decided at its last plenary meeting.
