Promoted to the rank of Inspector General of First Class Police by the Head of State, Soumaïla Yaya is retained as the Director General of the Republican Police. Police Inspector General Kokou Brice Allowanou is appointed to assist him in his duties.
New appointments have been made at the head of the Republican Police. According to the minutes of the ordinary session of the Council of Ministers of Wednesday, March 27, 2024, the government confirmed the Inspector General of First Class Police in the position of DGPR.
However, the appointment that has attracted the most attention is that of Police Inspector General Kokou Brice Allowanou, head of the judicial police department, as Deputy Director General cumulatively with his current functions.
According to rumors, he will likely be the next Director General of the Republican Police, replacing Soumaïla Yaya. The latter is expected to retire in the coming weeks.
Inspector General of First Class Police Soumaïla Yaya had a similar career. He was appointed Deputy Director General at the end of the reform that led to the merger of the national police and the gendarmerie to form the Republican Police corps.
Therefore, it would not be surprising to see a new change in command at the head of the Republican Police in the coming weeks.
