The Inspector General of Police, Mr.
Solomon Arase, on Saturday said about 40,000 policemen between the ranks
of constable and inspector would be promoted in the next two months.
Arase, who disclosed this during his
private visit to Lagos, noted that the rank and file were the officers
doing major jobs, including arrests, investigations and other special
duties.
Arase said, “There have been a backlog
of promotions between the constable and inspector cadre, involving about
36,000 of them. Two groups are already undergoing their promotional
courses.”
“Within the next two months, about
40,000 policemen between the ranks of constable and inspector will
undertake promotion exercises and be moved up to the next rank.
“If
we are able to solve the problem of the rank and file in the police,
half of the issues we are dealing with, which is corruption, would be
resolved. Corruption is born out of insecurity.”
