The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, in an effort to strategically emplace a Police Force efficient for effective policing, has ordered the immediate redeployment of the Commissioners of Police for Rivers State Command, Delta State Command, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The order covers the redeployment of CP Rivers State Command, CP Olatunji Disu, as the new CP FCT; CP Delta State Command, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi, as the new CP Rivers State Command; and CP FCT, CP Peter Opara, as the new CP Delta State.
According to police spokesman, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, following the approval of the Police Service Commission (PSC), the IGP has also deployed four CPs as Commissioners of Police for Abia, Lagos, Ebonyi, and Akwa-Ibom State Commands.
The deployment includes the posting of CP Danladi Nda to Abia State Command, CP Olanrewaju Ishola Olawale to Lagos State Command, CP Anthonia Adaku Uche-Anya, FDC, to Ebonyi State Command, and CP Festus Eribo to Akwa-Ibom State Command.
“The posting of these strategic managers reflects the mission of the Inspector-General of Police to strategically reposition the Police Force and ensure maximum utilization of human resources available to the Force.
“The IGP has, however, urged the new CPs of State Commands to ensure diligence in the discharge of their lawful duties and adopt innovations that could mitigate security challenges in their respective areas of responsibility.
“He further encouraged them to key into the police reform plans, which will help the progress of the Nigeria Police Force and the growth of the country in general.”
