Ten candidates were shortlisted for interviews seeking to find the next Director General of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI). They were drawn from a list of 253 applicants who sent their applications to the National Police Service Commission. The main units under DCI include Anti-Terror Police Unit, Anti-Narcotics Unit, Interpol regional bureau, DCI Academy, Bomb Disposal Unit and Banking Fraud among others.
