The Police Service Commission has approved the deployment of new Commissioners of Police, CPs, for Plateau, Enugu, Nasarawa, and Ondo police commands.

Torty Kalu, the Head of Protocol and Public Relations of PSC, said this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

He said the deployment followed series of interviews to ascertain the fitness and suitability of the CPs to undertake the tasks of the new offices.

Kalu said the newly deployed CPs are Sunday Okoebor, Plateau, Fidelis Ogarabe, Enugu State, Sheikh Danko, Nasarawa State, and Johnson Babalola, Ondo State.

He said the Chairman of the Commission, Hashimu Argungu, reprented by Justice Paul Galumje, a member of PSC Board  had affirmed the postings.

Mr Argungu said the postings were in line with the provisions of Section 215(1)(b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He said the provision empowers the commission to appoint CPs for each state of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory.

According to him, from the interviews, the CPs were found worthy in learning and character for their new duty posts.

He, therefore, urged the senior officers to be impartial and live up to the expectations from their new offices.
