The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the appointment and deployment of eight Commissioners of Police to Commands in the country.

PSC has also commended the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, for adhering to its latest policy on gender sensitivity in his recommendation.

“The newly appointed State Commissioners of Police are; Godwin Aghaulor now Cp Bornu State Command; Adelesi E. 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”.

Commission’s Chairman, Dr. Solomon Arase, said the postings as recommended by the acting Inspector General of Police was on the average, fair and commended the IGP for the inclusion of women.

The former IGP advised that the acting IGP should consider the disadvantaged geo-political zones while forwarding subsequent  proposals  for Commission’s ratification.
