The acting Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, has appointed new commissioners of police for Kebbi, Anambra, Kwara, Oyo, Ebonyi, Imo and Osun States.
The commissioners are Samuel Musa (Kebbi), Aderemi Adeoye (Anambra) Adelesi Oluwarotimi (Kwara) Adebola Hamzat (Oyo) and Augustina Ogbodo (Ebonyi).
The rest are Stephen Olarewaju (Imo) and Alamatu Mustapha (Ogun).
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the chairman of Police Service Commission, Solomon Arase, commended the acting IGP “for his sensitivity and inclusion of women”.
The PSC, however, expects that the IGP in his subsequent proposals would include more officers of the North-East and South-East geopolitical zones “that have yet to record the benchmark of 15 per cent as decided at the PSCs last plenary meeting.
It further quoted Mr Arase as describing the postings as recommended by the acting IGP to be fair on the average.
