The Police Service Commission (PSC) has announced the promotion of three Deputy Inspectors General of Police(DIG), 24 Assistant Inspectors General of Police, and 35 commissioners of police.

The commission, however, declined the promotion of the former acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, to his new rank of AIG.

PSC Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, who made this known in a statement, said Magu was denied promotion pending his clearance from the office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice and the Office of the Inspector General of Police.

The Commission also approved the promotion of 24 Commissioners of Police to the next rank of Assistant Inspectors General of Police. The Commission, however, declined the promotion of CP, Ibrahim Magu, former acting Chairman of the EFCC.

The decisions were the highpoints of the Commission’s 12th Plenary Meeting, on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 6 and 7, 2021, and presided over by the Commission’s Chairman, Musiliu Smith, a retired Inspector General of Police.

Similarly, the Commission approved the promotion of 35 Deputy Commissioners of Police, to the rank of Commissioners, 52 Assistant Commissioners of Police to Deputy Commissioners, and 46 Chief Superintendents of Police to Assistant Commissioners.

It also considered and approved the promotion of 10 Superintendents of Police to Chief Superintendents, 17 Deputy Superintendents of Police to Superintendents, 139 Assistant Superintendents of Police, whose names were skipped during the last promotion, to Deputy Superintendents and nine Inspectors to Assistant Superintendents of Police.

The Commission declined the promotion of CP Magu pending clearance from the office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice and the Office of the Inspector General of Police.

The Chairman of the Commission, Musiliu Smith congratulated the beneficiaries and demanded of them a commitment to the service of the Nigerian nation and to operate within the laws of the land and with the fear of God.
