The Commission, on Friday, also commended the acting Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun.
This was for adhering to its latest policy on gender sensitivity in his recommendation.

The newly appointed State Commissioners of Police are Godwin Aghaulor, now CP Borno State Command; Adelesi E. Oluwarotimi, CP Kwara State Command; Adebola Ayinde Hamzat, CP Oyo State Command; Augustina Ogbodo, CP Ebonyi State Command’ and Samuel Titus Musa, CP Kebbi State Command.
Others are Aderemi Olufemi Adeoye, CP Anambra State Command; Stephen Olarewaju, CP Imo State Command; and Alamatu Abiodun Mustapha, CP Ogun State Command.
The Commission’s Chairman, Dr. Solomon Arase, a retired Inspector General of Police, said the postings as recommended by the acting Inspector General of Police was on the average fair and commended him for the inclusion of women.
