Mr. Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun the Inspector-General of Police of the Nigeria Police Force decorated Professor Ahmed Sanusi Mohammed the Commander in charge of the Intelligence Response Team with new police rank of Commissioner of Police.

Egbetokun, on Monday, personally decorated Sanusi with his new rank in a colourful ceremony held at the Force Headquarters, Abuja. The event was attended by senior officers of the Force, family members, friends, and well-wishers who gathered to celebrate the academic-police officer’s remarkable achievement. Sanusi, a rare blend of policing expertise and academic excellence, has carved a niche for himself as one of the few senior police officers in Nigeria who have combined active service with high-level scholarship. Over the years, he has demonstrated exceptional commitment to law enforcement, capacity building, and the intellectual development of the Force, contributing extensively to police reforms and professional training.

His police career progression got a boost when he was appointed as ADC to a former governor of Kogi State. It was in this position that he was posted to Sokoto as Unit Commander Mopol 7 Sokoto.







Energetic Muhammed Sanusi was later transferred to Ekiti State, where he was DCO of the Aramoko Ekiti Police Command. Thereafter, he was the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) for the Ijero Ekiti State Police Command. He was also redeployed to the Operations Zone 8 Police Command and the Inland Waterways Police Command.

Shortly, followed by his diligence and resilience, Sanusi was made Officer in Charge of Anti Robbery Squad, Ikeja, Lagos. He was AC IGP, Tactical Squad Abuja, AC Police Special Fraud Unit Lagos, and AC Police Special Fraud Unit Abuja.

His exploits in these offices have carved a niche for him as an exemplary, spectacular, and brilliant officer in crime-busting. His ardent loyalty and uncompromising behaviour in his duty have earned him a plethora of commendations, and his successes in the arrests of notorious armed robbers were highly appreciated.

Sanusi, who is a Fellow of the Corporate Institute of Administration and Fellow of the Institute of Professional Managers and Administrators (FIPMA), the Commander of the Intelligence Response Team in Abuja.

Since he assumed office, Ahmed Sanusi has become a thorn in the flesh of the criminals in the country. To the criminal elements, the fear of Commander. Muhammed Sanusi Ahmed is the beginning of wisdom.

In the same vein, CP. Ahmed Sanusi Mohammed decorated some promoted police officers at the police unit.
