The Kano State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, on Monday decorated 29 officers of the command with their new ranks, including the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Haruna.

The decoration ceremony took place at the Officers’ Mess in Kano state.

While speaking at the event, CP Bakori described the promotion as a well-deserved recognition of the officers’ hard work, commitment, and service to the nation.

He said that the promotions were approved by the Police Service Commission on the recommendation of the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

Bakori thanked the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 1, for his guidance and support, which he said had helped strengthen policing in Kano.

Giving a breakdown of the promotion list, the CP said two officers were promoted from Chief Superintendent to Assistant Commissioner of Police, 21 from Superintendent to Chief Superintendent, and six from Deputy Superintendent to Superintendent of Police.

While congratulating the newly promoted officers, Bakori reminded them that the new ranks come with greater responsibilities.

“Your promotion is not merely a reward for past accomplishments but a call to greater responsibility,” he said. 

“The challenges facing our nation today require innovative thinking, teamwork, and unwavering commitment. Lead by example and inspire your subordinates to do the same.”

He urged them to uphold the values of professionalism, integrity, and discipline in their service, and reassured Kano residents of the command’s commitment to maintaining law and order across the state.
