Mouila, Gabon — In a significant development within Gabon’s Police Nationale (FPN), Lieutenant Christian Pambou Moundziegou was promoted to the rank of captain, along with two other officers, during a solemn ceremony held in Mouila on July 1, 2026.
The promotions, which were effective from January 1, 2025, reflect the FPN’s dedication to professional development and advancement within its ranks. Lieutenant Moundziegou’s elevation to captain was accompanied by the promotion of Gardians of the peace René Garone Ndigui and Arnaud Ibouaga to the rank of sous-brigadier.
The ceremony, attended by the governor, Francis Oyinamono, and other regional authorities, was the culmination of a broader initiative to promote 600 officers, including nine general officers, at the National Police School in Owendo.
The FPN’s commitment to reform and training is part of a larger strategy to modernize the force, as outlined in a law adopted by the Gabonese government in June 2026. This law aims to transform the Police Nationale into a more efficient and responsive institution to meet contemporary security challenges.
The promotions are a testament to the hard work and dedication of the FPN personnel and are intended to motivate them to continue serving the Gabonese people with distinction. Despite recent internal challenges, including a scandal that highlighted issues of administrative and human treatment, the FPN remains a crucial institution in Gabon’s security landscape.
The ceremony in Mouila also served as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to enhance the FPN’s capabilities and ensure its effectiveness in protecting the nation’s citizens.
As the FPN continues to evolve, the government’s commitment to addressing internal issues and ensuring fair and transparent practices will be crucial.
