The Nigeria Police Force has congratulated more than 30 of its young officers who were officially called to the Nigerian Bar between September 23 and 25, 2025.
Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, saluted the officers and marked the achievement in a series of Facebook posts on Thursday.
In his message, Hundeyin shared photos of the new lawyers and praised their dedication in balancing police service with rigorous law studies.
“Congratulations on your Call to Bar, young officers. The Nigeria Police Force is very proud of you,” he wrote.
Some of the officers include DSP Azamaimi Tana Ahekohimbia, DSP Ekem Ibiso Tamunosaki, DSP M.E. Garba, DSP Oga Nafisatu Sale, ASP Iye Silas, DSP E.A. Omo-Agege, ASP J.I. Ejime-Irabie, ASP Udora David Ugochukwu, and ASP Thompson Ofem Usang.
Others are ASP Ogugufa Josephine, DSP Lembang S. Precious, ASP Euodias Tsintop Emmanuel, DSP I.E. Chisom, DSP Abdulrazak Abdullahi Olamide, DSP Okoyomom Martins, and DSP Babaseyi B. Oluseyi, among others.
According to the Force PRO, the officers are law graduates of the Nigeria Police Academy, Kano.
The timing of the celebration coincides with heated national debate on policing reforms.
Just last week, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, renewed calls for the creation of state police, insisting that Nigeria must decentralise security to tackle crime effectively.
Kalu stressed that such a system could drastically improve response times, aiming to match or surpass the global benchmark of 10–15 minutes set by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
