He said that even though the elevation of the officers was in recognition of their hard work, commitment and service, he expects the new ranks to further spur them to put in their best always.

"This is a promotion that is duly deserved. I hope that this promotion will further spur you to continue to provide the best service for this country.

"Those of us you serve appreciate your service. It is our hope that your conditions will become better to ensure that those that work hard get their promotion based on merit and that there is justice and fair play in the exercise.
"For those of you who were not lucky this time, I want to encourage you to continue to put in your best as your promotion will surely come," he stated.
Other officers decorated by Saraki include Mohammed Bashir, promoted from Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) to Superintendent of Police (SP), Salisu Ibrahim from Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) to DSP, Acheche Noah, Inspector to ASP, and Haruna Abila, Inspector to ASP.

Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC.
