The Authority Structure Of The Nigerian Police Force by Nobody: 10:26am On Dec 26, 2015 |
The Ranks In Nigeria Police Force are divided across three structures; Administrative, Authority and Organizational structure. The authority ranks in Nigeria police force (NPF), from top to bottom is the Inspector General of police down to the constable. The Inspector-General of Police In accordance with section 215(2) of the 1999 Constitution, section 6 of the Police Act, 1990, “the Force shall be commanded by the Inspector-General of Police”. This simply means that orders, directives and instructions to carry out the duties with which the Police is carried, flows from the Inspector-General of Police, through the chain of Command, to any Officer positioned to implement such order. The office of the Inspector General of Police is the highest rank in the Nigeria Police force. The Deputy Inspector-General of Police According to section 7(1) of the Police Act, the Deputy Inspector General of Police is the second in Command of the Force and shall so act for him in the Inspector-General’s absence. Section 5 of the Act makes room for as many DIGs as the Nigeria Police Council considers appropriate. Every other rank below the IG, takes order of Command from him, in the performance of their lawful duties. The Asst. Inspector-General of Police The Office of the Assistant Inspector-General of Police is provided for by section 5 and 8 of the Police Act. He shall act for the Inspector-General of Police in the event of the absence of the Inspector-General of Police and Deputy Inspector-General of Police The Commissioner of Police (In-charge of contingents in a state) Section 5 of the Police Act, in accordance with the provisions of section 215 (2), of the Nigeria Constitution, provides for the Office and rank of a Commissioner of Police who shall be in Control of contingents of the Police Force stationed in a State.

Who still cares about the Nigerian Police Force? To be honest, NPF lost my respect years ago. I see them as typical Civil Servants on government payroll. Nigeria Police need thorough rebranding of some sort not the last Uniform change they did. Corrupt as F**. I will even suggest Daura D start his anti-corruption show with them. If he can reform the NPF and make them uncompromising and stop these boy-boy loyalty stunt they do , I think no sane politician will dare loot the treasury. All these policemen from rank and file are the one who physically carry the loots. 25 Likes 1 Share |

@op good job at compiling this but you should have given a brief or profile on each of the ranks as you did on the Senior officers cadre. Also a thread on the equivalent of the ranks in other forces (army, navy and airforce) comes to mind. Can someone please take the pain and open it. Informative and educative posts like this should be encouraged by all not many celebrity poos that desecrates the forum and bores the user 16 Likes |

So many graduates had to start from the constable position because getting in through direct ASP cadet recruitment aint easy. You need to see the type of animals that get recruited through the "korofo" stage. The graduates have to present only their school cert and once they're in the system,they spend years trying to regularise their educational qualifications. NPF na dirty work abeg. 2 Likes |
