The Police Service Commission (PSC) will conduct a promotion examination and interactive session on Tuesday for 14 senior officers, including Lagos Police Commissioner Olohundare Moshood and FCT Commissioner of Police Dantawaye, who are being considered for promotion to the rank of Assistant Inspector General (AIG).
According to available information, the session is scheduled to take place at the Commission’s Corporate Headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.
A police wireless communication, circulated by NIGPOL FORSEC Abuja to commands and departments nationwide, indicated that the session will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. Officers are required to report by 7:00 a.m. for briefing and transportation to the venue.
According to the signal, the list of the affected officers includes: Christopher Ado Emmanuel, Joseph Eribo, Miller Gajere Dantawaye, Henry Ifeanyi Uche, Olanrewaju Peter Ogunlowo, Mohammed Dahiru (FDC), Dankombo Faling Morris, Bello Shehu, Ibrahim Balarabe Maikaba, Ahmed Musa, Olohundare Moshood, Jimoh Simeon, Udofia Akpanudom (FDC), and Haruna Oufemi.
Moshood is the Commissioner of Police for Lagos State. He officially assumed office in February 2025 as the 41st Commissioner of Police in the state, taking over from CP Olanrewaju Ishola, who was redeployed to the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
Dantawaye is the 34th Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, assuming duty in October 2025.
