As the 25th Chief of Police Zone 10 Headquarters in Sokoto, Ahmed Musa, an Assistant Inspector-General of Police, is responsible for coordinating policing operations in the states of Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara.
On Monday, October 12, 2026, Musa succeeded AIG Augustine G. Grimah, who retired from the Nigeria Police Force, and gained the position.
Musa promised to increase police trust, combat violent crime, and bolster security operations in a statement released by ASP Abdallah Faruk Ambursa, the Zonal Police Public Relations Officer.
A new zonal police commander has issued a call to arms for his subordinates to maintain a high level of professionalism, discipline, and commitment to their work.
In addition, he urged the people of those three states to assist law enforcement in their efforts to detect and prevent crime by providing credible and practical intelligence.
Musa vowed to work more closely with the military, other security agencies, and other interested parties to resolve security issues and maintain calm in the area.
His approach to law enforcement, he said, would continue to prioritise cooperation amongst different agencies.
To further promote public interaction and allow citizens to voice issues regarding security and police activities, the AIG also pledged to keep an open-door policy.
Musa was the Assistant Inspector General (AIG) for Community Policing at the Abuja Force Headquarters before he was appointed.
