The Police Service Commission has warned that Tactical Units should not be allowed to supplant recognised Police Departments, especially at the State Command Headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Commission notes that many State Commissioners have abused these amorphous Tactical Units and had rendered recognised Police Departments redundant even when they are headed by Deputy Commissioners of Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Commission had, while interrogating nine Commissioners recommended by the Inspector General of Police for appointment and posting to state Commands, warned that the new CPs should allow the recognised Departments to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile the Commission has approved the IGPs recommendation for the appointment of Ibrahim Balarabe Maikaba from Kano state as CP Zamfara state; Breret Emmanuel Simon, from Plateau State as CP Taraba state; Christopher Ado Emmanuel from Niger state as CP Yobe and Olusegun Eyitayo Omosayin, from Ondo state and CP Provost, as CP Cross Rivers State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others are Adamu Abdullahi Elleman from Jigawa State who was at one time Head of IGP Monitoring Unit, was appointed CP Niger State; Sani Omolori Aliyu from Kogi State, CP Bauchi Command; Bello Shehu from Gombe state, CP Katsina Command; Saka Adewale Ajao from Ogun State, former AC Basic, Police College Ikeja; second in Command Rapid Response Squad Lagos; Deputy Commissioner Admin, Airport Command Lagos and Deputy Commissioner Zonal CID, Zone 2, Onikan Lagos as CP FCT Command and Ojo Adekimi from Ekiti state, CP Kwara Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new State Command Commissioners were subjected to interactive oral interview coordinated by DIG Taiwo Lakanu rtd, fdc, Honourable Commissioner in the Commission representing the Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chairman of the Commission DIG Hashimu Argungu rtd mni advised the Officers to ensure that Tactical Units are not abused at the State Commands and not used to do the work meant for recognised Departments. He expressed worry on the abuse of power by these Units and noted that it is in the interest of the new CPs to work with Deputy Commissioners manning the Departments and posted by the Inspector General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DIG Lakanu in his contribution told the Officers to work with their subordinates and establish trust with the people – the youths, traditional leaders and Organisations such as NBA and advised that they should refrain from establishing squads that are not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
