As the Police Service Commission promotes 15 officers serving in the Bayelsa State Police Command, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Nasiru Oki, has said kidnapping remains the main challenge of the force in the state.
He, therefore, challenged officers and men of the command to double up their efforts to fight kidnapping to a standstill.
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.
Fourteen Assistant Superintendents of Police were elevated to the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police including the spokesman for the command, Mr. Asinim Butswat.
Also, one Superintendent of Police was promoted to Chief Superintendent of Police.
Oki said promotion usually came with added responsibilities and that the command was poised to combat crime in 2016.
The commissioner said, “We expect you to work harder as we face a mono-crime situation in Bayelsa, which is kidnapping, and when you are in a state with only one crime, you have to tackle it.”
He further urged officers and men of the command to work harder and achieve a crime-free Bayelsa in 2016.
Speaking on behalf of the newly-promoted officers, Butswat said the promotion would encourage them to work harder for enhanced productivity.
“We are in high spirits and with the promotion coming at this festive period, it is a very valuable gift to us in this season. We pledge to do our best in serving our fatherland,” Butswat said.
