As exclusively reported by NewsOne Nigeria in March 2020, PSC has promoted 6,618 senior police officers in its police promotion 2020.

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the promotion of 6,618 senior police officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), confirming an exclusive report filed by this online news platform four months ago about police promotion 2020.
