The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the appointment of Commissioner of Police Salisu Bello Fago as the new head of the Niger State Police Command.
Fago takes over from CP Adamu A. Elleman, who retired from the Nigeria Police Force after 35 years of service. His appointment followed an interview conducted by the PSC Standing Committee on Police Matters.
The PSC Chairman, DIG Hashimu Salihu Argungu (retd.), urged the new commissioner to maintain political neutrality and adopt intelligence-led and community-based policing strategies to tackle crime and strengthen security across the state.
Fago joined the Nigeria Police Force on June 10, 1994, as a Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police. With more than 30 years of experience, he has served in various capacities, including the State Intelligence Bureau in Kano and Katsina, Criminal Investigation Department in Katsina, and operational roles in Delta, Maiduguri and Kano.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master’s degree in Conflict Management and Peace Studies.
