The current serving Chief of the African Union Multinational Police Force in Somalia, Commissioner Augustine Kailie has reportedly been endorsed this morning by the Police Council as Deputy Inspector General of Police.

He is expected to round up his mission in Somalia and take up his new role in the next coming days.

Commissioner Kailie oversaw the operational planing and security of the recent concluded parliamentary and presidential elections in Somalia.

He held various command and operational positions in Sierra Leone.

He holds a Bachelor’s degree from FBC and a masters degree in Peace Development Studies.

Given his wealth of experience and professional career including his educational background, his appointment has been widely appreciated by his colleagues in the SLP and the African Union.
Few minutes ago, a senior police officer posted in a forum that “ the new DIG is a fine and refined police officer”.
