Their posting came on the heels of the resumption by the new Inspector General of the Nigerian Police Force, Ibrahim Idris.

 A statement by Presidential media aide, Garba Shehu stressed that Nigeria needed their dedication and unwavering commitment for it to achieve greatness and assume its rightful position,   cautioning them not to abuse their positions.

The President congratulated the officers and urged them to justify their new ranks by increasing their commitment to the service of the nation. He also commended them for their hard work and achievements which brought about their promotion.
