The Commissioner of Police (CP) in Jigawa, Mr Mohammed Mustapha, on Thursday said 1,201 officers and men of the command had been promoted to various ranks.

Mustapha disclosed this while decorating the newly promoted officers in Dutse.

He said 11 Deputy Superintendants of Police (DSP) were promoted to Superintendents of Police (SP) and 27 Inspectors were now Assistant Superintendents of Police.

Others were 782 Corporals promoted to Sergents and 381 Police Constables elevated to Corporals, while the promotion result of Sergents to Inspectors was being awaited.

The commissioner said that the promotion was a reward to hard work and dedication, therefore beneficiaries must step up responsibilities to justify their new ranks.

He said that with the large number of beneficiaries, he was confident that the state was now more equipped to fight crimes and criminality.

Mustapha congratulated the immediate past Inspector General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, for successful completion of his tenure and retirement from Nigeria Police Force.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mr Abdu Jinjiri, the command’s Public Relations Officer, was among those promoted from DSP to SP. (NAN)
