IG appoints 67 ACPs as Squadron Commanders
Sixty-seven Assistant Commissioners of Police have been appointed by the Inspector-General of Police, Ag. IGP Mohammed Adamu as Squadron Commanders across the 67 Mobile Police Squadrons.
He said the upgrade was also aimed at tackling the heightened threat of kidnapping, armed robbery, banditry, cattle rustling, communal clashes and terrorism. “But in consideration of the increasingly complex internal security challenges which have widened the responsibilities of the Police Mobile Force, it was considered expedient to review and standardize the status of Squadron Commanders. This informed the upgrade of the rank of Squadron Commanders to Assistant Commissioners of Police.
“As you assumed full leadership of your Squadrons, you will all be expected to draw on your vast operational experiences towards supporting other detachments of the Police in undertaking special operations to mitigate these threats.” “A situation where a single individual who is not qualified and has no authority to move about with PMF escort for his or her protection is found enjoying such individualized and specialized police protection is no longer acceptable.
