Abia, Ebonyi, Akwa Ibom, Lagos Get New Police Commissioners (See List)

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the appointment of four substantive Commissioners of Police for Abia, Lagos, Ebonyi, and Akwa Ibom State Commands.

The appointments followed the recent promotion of some senior police officers by the commission, which created vacancies in some state commands.

In a statement released on Friday, the Head of Press and Public Relations for the PSC, Ikechukwu Ani, announced the appointment of the new commissioners.

They are Isah Nda for the Abia State Command, Olanrewaju Olawale for the Lagos State Command, Anthonia Anya for the Ebonyi State Command, and Miller Dantawaye for the Akwa Ibom State Command.

However, no CP has been appointed for the Federal Capital Territory Command despite the former CP’s promotion and deployment as the AIG in charge of Zone 7.

The commission’s Chairman, DIG Hashimu Argungu (retd.), said the new commissioners must be prepared to make a positive difference in the security management of their states of posting.

The statement read in part, “DIG Argungu said the commission will monitor their performance, stressing that they should not waste time to hit the ground running.

“He told the new commissioners that they must build a competitive, competent, and efficient police force in their states of posting, adding that the commission will continue to encourage them for optimum service delivery.

“He said their appointments should be seen as a call to greater dedication to the service of their fatherland.

“The approval of the postings signed by the Secretary to the Commission Chief Onyemuche Nnamani has been conveyed to the Inspector General of Police for implementation.”
