The Nigeria — Police Service Commission (PSC) approved the deployment of eight Commissioners of Police to various state commands and appointed Assistant Inspector-General of Police Auwal Musa Mohammed as the new Commandant of the Nigeria — Nigeria Police Academy Wudil, Wudil, Kano. The postings, announced on Wednesday, followed the promotion of former commissioners and were aimed at addressing operational needs.
