Bakori Replaces Salman Dogo as Kano Commissioner of Police

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the appointment of CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori as the new Commissioner of Police for Kano State.

Bakori, who hails from Katsina State, replaces CP Salman Garba Dogo, who has been promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG).

Before his appointment, CP Bakori served as the Commissioner of Police, Homicide, at the Force Investigation Department (FID), Abuja. His career spans various strategic roles, including Commander of the Bayelsa State Joint Task Force (Operation Doo Akpo), Yenagoa; Assistant Commissioner, Special Protection Unit (SPU), Force Headquarters, Abuja; and Assistant Commissioner, Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Bayelsa State.

Other positions he held include Assistant Commissioner, CID, Rivers State; Principal Staff Officer to the Inspector General of Police; and Commanding Officer, 17 PMF, Akure.

The Chairman of the Police Service Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd), has tasked CP Bakori with ensuring peace and security in Kano State.

“You must quickly settle into the challenging task before you, ensuring that crime and criminality are brought to an end while promoting freedom of movement and security of enterprise,” Argungu advised.

He also urged CP Bakori to conduct a crime mapping of Kano State to implement a focused security strategy.

The Commission assured that it would monitor his progress and provide the necessary support for his success.

The PSC’s approval has been forwarded to the Inspector General of Police for implementation in a letter signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Chief Onyemuche Nnamani.
