EKO HOT BLOG reports that DIG Ali replaces DIG Ade Ayuba, who recently retired from the Nigeria Police Force. Before this appointment, Ali was the AIG in charge of Zone 1 in Kano.

A native of Doma Local Government Area in Nasarawa State, he assumes this role to continue representing the North Central region, as his predecessor did.

The decision was made during an emergency management meeting of the commission, presided over by the PSC Chairman, retired DIG Hashimu Argungu. In his remarks, Argungu congratulated DIG Ali and urged him to prioritize professionalism and maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward corruption in his new role.

“The new PSC is committed to building a professional and accountable Police Force that will serve as the pride of the Nigerian people,” Argungu said. “DIG Ali is expected to align with this vision and contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Force.”
