In due appreciation of his depth of professional knowledge and exceptional leadership, he was soon elevated to the position of Assistant Director in-charge of the African Sub-Directorate at the INTERPOL General Secretariat. In 2005, he was again elevated to the position of Director, National Central Bureau and 1-24/7 Global Communication System and Development within the hierarchy of the INTERPOL Secretariat, Lyon, France.
