The Police Service Commission has approved the appointment of Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Yahaya Sahabo Abubakar as Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police.
Prior to his appointment, Abubakar was the AIG in charge of Zone 14 Katsina. He will now represent the North East Geopolitical zone in the Police Management Team, succeeding DIG Habu Sani who recently retired as DIG Force Intelligence Bureau and represented the zone.
Additionally, the Commission approved the promotion of 122 senior police officers. These promotions include 10 Commissioners of Police to the rank of Assistant Inspectors General; 15 Deputy Commissioners of Police to substantive Commissioners; 36 Assistant Commissioners of Police to Deputy Commissioners; 61 Chief Superintendents of Police to the rank of Assistant Commissioners of Police.
According to a press release signed by Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public Relations unit of the PSC, these decisions were made at an extraordinary Management Meeting of the Commission held on June 6th, 2024, presided over by the Chairman of the Commission, Dr. Solomon Arase, CFR, retired Inspector General of Police.
The 15 Deputy Commissioners of Police; 10 Commissioners and AIG Abubakar appeared before the Commission in session for the compulsory interactive promotion interview, which is one of the requirements for their promotion to the next rank.
The Commission chairman at the interactive sessions told the officers that in the emerging dynamic and ubiquity of crime and criminality within the revolution in information and communication technology, "charting out pathways for effective policing and internal security management would have to necessarily orient from informed crafting and employment of applicable mix of strategies, standard operating procedures and tactics by the Police, other law enforcement and regulatory agencies of the state, mainstreaming a knowledge driven Police Force staffed by mentally mobile work force refined for optimum service delivery.””
Dr. Arase charged them to be genuinely committed to their sacred responsibility of securing the Nigerian nation by effectively protecting lives and property, preventing and containing crimes and criminality across the nation.
He pledged the Commission's readiness to ensure that promotions of Officers and Men are regular and predictable.
