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.
“We expect you to work harder as we are faced with 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,” the commissioner said.

“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, and we pledge to do our best in serving our fatherland,” Butswat said.
