FCT Police spokesperson Josephine Adeh has been promoted from Superintendent of Police to Chief Superintendent of Police
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, has been promoted from Superintendent of Police (SP) to Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), following the approval of the Police Service Commission (PSC).
Adeh shared photographs of her new rank on social media, celebrating the promotion and expressing gratitude for the recognition.
In a statement on Thursday, November 12, 2026, she described the elevation as a personal milestone, saying her journey in the Nigeria Police Force had involved challenges, sacrifices and sleepless nights.
“Being promoted and decorated from Superintendent of Police (SP) to Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) is more than a change of rank for me; it is a deeply personal reminder that hard work, dedication, patience and faith are never in vain,” she said.
The Police Service Commission approved her promotion during its plenary meeting in Abuja on October 29, alongside those of more than 3,800 other senior police officers.
The promotions followed the officers’ successful performance in promotion examinations and oral interviews conducted by the commission.
Adeh was among 245 Superintendents of Police elevated to the rank of Chief Superintendent.
Other beneficiaries in the same category included Adamawa State Police Command spokesperson Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje and officers serving in various state commands.
The PSC chairman, DIG Hashimu Salihu Argungu (retd.), urged the newly promoted officers to regard their elevation as a call to greater responsibility.
He said the officers were expected to demonstrate professionalism, dedication and improved performance in protecting lives and property, maintaining law and order and delivering effective police services.
Adeh thanked the police authorities and those who supported her career, saying she received the promotion with renewed strength and a greater commitment to service.
Her elevation comes as the FCT Police Command continues to rely on its public relations office to communicate security developments, police operations and crime-prevention information to residents.
