The Police Service Commission (PSC), while reacting to comments credited to the leadership of the Ohaneze Ndigbo, a pan Igbo Socio Cultural group, on the recent promotions into different offices of the Nigeria Police Force and specifically as it affected promotions into the office of Commissioner of Police, on Sunday said the promotion of policemen is not based on ethnic considerations.
Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public Relations, in a statement said promotions of senior police Officers including promotion into the Office of Commissioner of Police are based on availability of vacancies, seniority, free of any pending disciplinary matter and merit except in few cases of special promotion. The statement reads, “The Ohaneze noted that only one Igbo son was promoted to the rank of CP in the recent exercise and that all Commissioners of Police in the South East are Northerners. It also observed that not many Igbo Officers are in the high echelon of the Force."
