The Police Service Commission (PSC), has approved the appointment of three assistant inspectors general of police to the rank of deputy inspectors general of police.
This is even as the Commission suspended the promotion of eight commissioners of police to the rank of assistant inspectors general and eleven deputy commissioners of police to the next rank of commissioners due to their failure to appear before it for the mandatory promotion interview.
The commission had sent invitations to the officers to appear before it for the usual interaction to ascertain their suitability and capability for the new offices but they failed to appear.
The new DIGs are expected to fill the vacant duty posts created due to the retirements of three DIGs representing the North Central, North East and North West geopolitical zones.
AIG Hafiz Mohammed Inuwa, the Force Secretary, will be replacing retired DIG Mustapha Dan- Daura for the North West slot as DIG Dan- Daura retired on the 15th of January this year.
AIG Aji Ali Janga from North East will replace DIG Zanna Mohammed Ibrahim who retired on the 26th of November 2022, while AIG Adeleke Adeyinka Bode of North Central will replace DIG Sanusi Lemu who retired on the 31st of January this year.
