Following the recent promotion approval by the Police Service Commission, PSC, of the 6,455 senior police officers contained in a recommendation memo seen by Secret Reporters, from the Inspector General of Police, Idris Ibrahim has just ordered for special immediate promotion of some Sergeants to Inspectors without due course.
One of the sergeants who spoke with Secret Reporters said, “He is busy promoting only his brothers.”
The Inspector General approved the urgent promotion of the underlisted sergeants with effect from the date indicated against their names. They are:

According to our informant, only persons from the North gains from the special promotion while those from the south are blatantly neglected.
