By Sani Ma’azu

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has announced the appointment of new Commissioners of Police for Taraba and Anambra States, as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen security across the country.

Chukwudi Chris Ariekpere, a native of Abia State, has been appointed as the new Commissioner of Police for Taraba, replacing CP Peter Oparah. Similarly, Livingstein Ikioye Orutugu, from Bayelsa State, has been named the new Commissioner of Police for Anambra, taking over from Obong Nnache Itam.

In a statement, the Chairman of the PSC, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Hashimu Argungu, urged the new appointees to quickly adapt to their roles and ensure effective law enforcement in their respective states. He emphasized the need for heightened vigilance to prevent any security breaches that could destabilize the regions.

“The new Commissioners of Police must be dedicated and committed to their duties, particularly in tackling issues such as banditry and other criminal activities,” Argungu said. “The PSC will continue to closely monitor their performance and provide all necessary support to help them succeed.”

In addition to the appointments, the PSC has also approved the promotion of 6,618 senior police officers, including one Deputy Inspector General (DIG), four Assistant Inspectors General (AIGs), and three Commissioners of Police (CPs).

The Commission’s decisions have been formally communicated to the Inspector General of Police for immediate implementation.
