“CP Ahmad also holds a Post Graduate Certificate in Corruption Studies from the University of Hong Kong. Until his recent posting, CP Ahmad was the Commissioner of Police in charge of Intelligence at the FCID, Abuja,” the statement also read.

Mr Abdulrahman had held command positions in Kaduna, Bayelsa and Ekiti Commands.

“The IGP has charged the CP to bring to bear his wealth of experience, leveraging on the Force policy on Community Policing and Intelligence-driven crime-fighting strategies towards overhauling the security architecture of the coal-rich State.”

The IGP, however, enjoined the people of the state to partner with the police and “accord the CP maximum cooperation in his efforts at revamping the security situation in the State.”
