THE Commissioner of Police in Enugu State, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, has charged the eight newly-promoted officers to always act within the confides of the law in the discharge of their responsibilities.
Uzuegbu said this in Enugu on Wednesday while decorating the officers with their new ranks.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that they were promoted to Superintendents of Police (SP) from Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSP).
Uzuegbu urged the officers to see their promotion as motivation to work harder.
He charged them to see their promotion as an opportunity to take higher responsibilities and exhibit higher levels of wisdom in the discharge of their duties.
“I congratulate you on your promotion. But you must know that the higher the rank, the greater the responsibilities and wisdom required to function at that rank.
“Therefore, you must be more careful, show higher levels of wisdom, and always act in line with the existing laws and ethical codes of the Nigeria Police Force.”
The Deputy Commissioners of Police in-charge of the Department of Operations and the State CID, DCP Olasoji Akinbayo and DCP Adebowale Lawal respectively, took turns to congratulate the newly-decorated.
They charged the newly-decorated officers to be more responsible and live up to the responsibilities of their new ranks.
“You have to be alive to your duties and live up to desired expectations,” they said.
Responding on behalf of the newly-decorated officers, SP Patrick Anike, thanked the Police Service Commission and the Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, for finding them worthy of the promotion.
Anike, who is a Divisional Crime Officer at 9th Mile Police Division, appreciated the commissioner for his support and words of encouragement.
“I will assure you that we will redouble our efforts and be responsible and responsive to the demands of our new ranks,” he said.
The newly-promoted officers are: Rita Iroegbu, Officer-in Charge of the Command’s Communications Unit; and Bethel Chinyere, Administrative, Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD)/Bomb Squad Base 3, Enugu.
Others are: Alele Ann, Divisional Traffic Officer, Awkunanaw Police Division, Ohakwe Ikechukwu, second-in-command in SWAT Tactical Squad of the Command; and Julius Musa, Administrative Officer Special Protection Unit (SPU) Base 21, Enugu.
