Executive Summary
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Disu has ordered a resit promotion exam for senior police officers, according to a confidential police wireless message dated March 16, 2026. The message, obtained by SaharaReporters, indicates that the Police Service Commission (PSC) has rescheduled the exam for Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs), Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs), Chief Superintendents of Police (CSPs), and Superintendents of Police (SPs). These officers were deemed "not successful" in the December 2025 and March 2026 promotion cycles. This decision follows allegations of a 'cash-for-rank' system under the previous IGP Egbetokun, which reportedly sidelined some officers. The resit aims to address concerns about fairness and meritocracy in police promotions.
