The promotion of CSP Olumuyiwa Oladunmoye Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, to the next level of Assistant Commissioner of Police has been authorised by the Police Service Commission (PSC), along with the appointment of two Deputy Inspectors General of Police.
9,016 more Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASP) were confirmed by the PSC.
During its current 21st Plenary Meeting at its Corporate Headquarters in Jabi, Abuja, the commission announced the promotions.
In addition, the Plenary approved the elevation of 14,052 Inspectors to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (Unconfirmed), and one Inspector, Habila Bulus, was elevated to the rank of ASP 11 in recognition of his valour and devotion to his job.
Also, Inspector Mohammed Aminu, who trended on social media where he was seen being assaulted in uniform by afrobeats singer Seun Kuti, was also promoted to ASP 1.
The Commission noted despite the unwarranted provocation, intimidation, and serious assault he exhibited a high level of professionalism, and restraint and chose to follow the due process of law to seek redress.
Former Commissioner of Police Ebonyi Command (CP) Olalaye Falaye, was earlier promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police after the Commission had approved the adjustment of his position in the seniority list.
Speaking at the Valedictory session for the outgoing Commissioners of the Commission, Chairman of the PSC, Dr. Solomon Arase, retired Inspector General of Police who presided over the ceremony said they were worthy of celebration for standing tall and strong in the midst of obvious disquiet “which hitherto characterised the activities of the Commission and held the forte of the Commission down when it seemed it would disintegrate”.
According to a statement on Thursday by the Head, Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, the PSC boss noted that the outgoing Commissioners jointly lifted and positioned the Commission where: “it is today despite challenges and the characterizing conflict between the Commission and the Nigeria Police Force”.
The Chairman noted that he will continue to reach out to them anytime the Commission comes in need of their expertise.
