The Police Service Commission has approved the promotion of six Assistant Inspectors – General of Police and two Commissioners of Police to the rank of Deputy Inspectors – General of Police. The AIGs are Dan’Azumi Job Doma, Mamman Ibrahim Tsafe, David O. Omojola, Solomon E. Arase, Christopher K. Katso and Salihu Argungu Hashidu, while Hilary Opara and Sotonye L. Wakama were promoted from the rank of Commissioner of Police. The promotions are with effect from 19th August 2014. The Commission also re-affirmed its earlier decision that promotions from the ranks of ACPs to AIGs would only be done after its interviews with the affected officers.
The Commission had earlier at its 6th plenary held on 12th August 2014 reviewed the time limit within which aggrieved police officers can lodge complaints against punishment meted to them to thirty (30) days from the receipt of the decisions. It has also availed aggrieved officers the opportunity to appeal directly to the Commission where an action on its decision is not implemented by the Police authorities as directed by it.
The Honourable Chairman of the Commission, Sir (Dr.) Mike Mbama Okiro, while congratulating the newly promoted officers enjoined them to see their elevation as opportunity to serve, imploring them to use their wealth of experience in uplifting the Nigeria Police Force.

now those from the north cannot see the injustice that would have been done in the promotion. For this elevation to be only them means that in past no officer from other regions benefited in promotion that brought to senior cader.
