A cross section of the newly decorated Lagos Police Officers
The Nigeria Police Force has promoted some of its senior officers in Lagos to the post of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).
A statement released on Sunday evening by Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Olarinde Famous-Cole, indicated that the promoted senior officers were decorated earlier yesterday by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in Charge of Zone 2, AIG Adamu Ibrahim, and Lagos Police Commissioner, CP Fatai Owoseni.
The promoted officers are ACP Edgal Imohimi to DCP, CSP Hope Okafor to ACP, CSP Muyideen Obe to ACP, CSP Bunmi Ogedengbe to ACP, CSP Lawal Adebowale to ACP, and two others.
In a related development, AIG Taiwo Lakanu has arrived at the Lagos Police Command on the directives of Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Idris to intensify training on the use of firearms and respect for human rights, especially for policemen in Lagos.
PPRO Famous-Cole described AIG Lakanu’s tour of various police commands as “another selfless approach in bringing police closer to the people whom they have vowed to serve and protect.”
