Nigeria Police Promotion 2020 list is finally out.
NewsOne Nigeria reports that the Inspector-General of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Mohammed Adamu, has finally announced the promotion of Nigeria Police officers, putting an end to the search for the Nigeria Police Promotion 2020 list by officers of the NPF.
The release of the Nigeria Police Promotion 2020 list confirms an exclusive report filed by this online news platform nine months ago about police promotion list 2020.
March 2, NewsOne Nigeria filed a report titled: “EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria Police Set For New 2020 Promotion, See Date, Officers Affected,” regarding the police promotion of officers of the Nigeria Police.
In our March report about Nigeria police promotion 2020, NewsOne Nigeria exclusively gathered that the promotion will include officers whose names were omitted in the last promotion, in what can best be described as “justice for the affected officers.”
NewsOne Nigeria reports that the police signal (Police Wireless Message) also instructed that those Nigeria police officers “omitted in the last promotion whose date of last promotion was 7/12/2015 should also include their names for proper documentation.”
Exactly 9 months after our exclusive report on the Nigeria Police Promotion 2020 list, the IGP has announced the promotion of juniors officers and senior officers of the NPF including those killed during the #EndSARS protests.
Below is a breakdown of the Nigeria Police Promotion 2020 list
