According to the statement, the former assistant commissioner of police (ACP) in charge of Operations, John Agwoye, was elevated to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).
It said that the officer in charge of the Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad, Kabiru Akinroye, was promoted to the rank of ACP.

“Amongst the 16 SP are Divisional Police Officers (DPO) of Ijoka, Otu, Bolorunduro, Okeigbo, among others.
“The Commissioner of Police (CP) Abayomi Oladipo, while congratulating the affected officers, remarks that more rank signifies bigger responsibilities.
