PSC approves postings of 10 CPs

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the posting of 10 commissioners of police (CPs) to various commands in the country.

Ikechukwu Ani, head of press and public relations of the PSC, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.

The CPs are Peter Opara, Osun; Olughemiga Adesina, Benue; Akinwale Adeniran, Ekiti; Mohammed Abba, Adamawa; Beneth Igwe, FCT, and Abaniwonda Olufemi, Delta.

Others are Ademola Ayilara, Akwa Ibom; David Iloyanomon, Taraba; Abayomi Peter, Ondo State, and Hassan Yabnet, Plateau.

The posting followed the promotion of 14 former deputy commissioners of police (DCPs) to their new rank of CP.

Ani said the PSC Chairman, Solomon Arase, had called on the newly deployed CPs to rebuild public trust in the police through robust partnership.

Mr Arase warned that the commission would not accept any excuse for failure in delivering effective and efficient leadership.

He pledged the commitment of the commission to continue to encourage the CPs but warned that the security of lives and properties in their areas of jurisdiction should not be taken for granted.
