The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Friday, affirmed the election of Gov. Douye Diri of Bayelsa.

The International Press Centre, IPC, Lagos-Nigeria, has called for prosecution of the Police personnel that assaulted Olukayode Jaiyeola, a Photojournalist with Punch Newspaper. Jaiyeola was manhandled by the Police while covering a peaceful protest to mark Nigeria's 60th Independence Anniversary at the Maryland Area of Lagos State. The incident happened around 12:00 noon on October 1st 2020 when a policeman, Innocent Adadu was alleged to have hit Jaiyeola's head with a baton, which immediately made him collapse, with blood gushing out of his injured skull. IPC in a statement signed by its Program Officer\/Safety Desk Officer, Melody Lawal demanded for the prosecution of the culprit. The statement reads in part, \"We condemn the unwarranted brutalization of the journalist in the course of his legitimate duty of covering a peaceful protest by a group of Nigerians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Although we commend the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Hakeem Odumosu for his prompt intervention over the matter, we hereby demand that the culprit should be prosecuted so that the assaulted journalist could have justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"IPC again calls on police officers and other security operatives to create a safe environment for journalists and other media professionals to carry out their duties unhindered\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creation of new zonal commands by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu may have pitched him against the Police Service Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the commission promoted Assistant Inspector -General of Police, Sanusi Lemu to Deputy Inspector General of Police, to replace retired DIG Abdulmajid Ali, representing the North Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also approved the promotion of Commissioner of Police, Mustapha Dandaura, former CP Anambra and Rivers States, to the substantive rank of AIG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others are Bayelsa\/Rivers command with headquarters in Yenogoa,Bayelsa State; Katsina,\/Kaduna command with headquarters in Katsina; Yobe\/Borno command with headquarters in Maiduguri, Borno State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Force Intelligence Bureau was also excised from the FCID to become a full-fledged department to be headed by a DIG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But rising from its 9th Plenary meeting in Abuja on Monday and Tuesday, presided over by the PSC Chairman, Musiliu Smith, the commission said the affected officers who were drawn from the new commands would not be promoted until the IGP provided the presidential authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement issued on Friday by the commission\u2019s spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, entitled, \u2018PSC promotes 175 senior police officers, steps down 112 others, the commission maintaned that IGP submits Presidential approval creating new zonal commands and departments.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also promoted were 167 Superintendents of Police to Chief Superintendent, three Deputy Superintendents of Police to Superintendent, two Assistant Superintendents of Police to Deputy Superintendent and four Inspectors to Assistant Superintendent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The commission also confirmed the acting appointments of 60 senior officers, including three Commissioners of Police and four Deputy Commissioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creation of new zonal commands by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu may have pitched him against the Police Service Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The commission has refused to approve the promotion of 112 senior police officers until the issue of creation of zonal Commands are resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the commission promoted Assistant Inspector -General of Police, Sanusi Lemu to Deputy Inspector General of Police, to replace retired DIG Abdulmajid Ali, representing the North Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others are Bayelsa\/Rivers command with headquarters in Yenogoa,Bayelsa State; Katsina,\/Kaduna command with headquarters in Katsina; Yobe\/Borno command with headquarters in Maiduguri, Borno State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Force Intelligence Bureau was also excised from the FCID to become a full-fledged department to be headed by a DIG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement issued on Friday by the commission\u2019s spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, entitled, \u2018PSC promotes 175 senior police officers, steps down 112 others, the commission maintaned that IGP submits Presidential approval creating new zonal commands and departments.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also promoted were 167 Superintendents of Police to Chief Superintendent, three Deputy Superintendents of Police to Superintendent, two Assistant Superintendents of Police to Deputy Superintendent and four Inspectors to Assistant Superintendent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The commission also confirmed the acting appointments of 60 senior officers, including three Commissioners of Police and four Deputy Commissioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
