Addressing the newly-promoted officers shortly after decorating them with their new ranks, Oki urged them to justify the confidence reposed in them and work harder in the coming year.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 14 Assistant Superintendents of Police were elevated to the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police, while one Superintendent of Police was promoted to Chief Superintendent of Police.
Oki said promotion comes with added responsibilities and that the command was poised to combat crime in 2016.

Speaking on behalf of the newly-promoted officers, Mr Asinim Butswat, who is the Police Public Relations Officer of the command, said the promotion would encourage them to work harder for enhanced productivity.
