Among those decorated were six Chief Superintendents of Police promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police, seven Superintendents of Police promoted to Chief Superintendent of Police and one Inspector promoted to Assistant Superintendent of Police.
Addressing the promoted officers, the Police Commissioner Mr Echeng thanked President Muhammadu Buhari and the Inspector General of Police Mr Alkali Baba for finding the officers worthy to be elevated to the next rank.
