The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun has ordered the immediate redeployment of the Commissioners of Police of Rivers, Delta State and the Federal Capital territory commands.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi in a statement issued Thursday said the posting of these strategic managers reflects the mission of IGP to strategically reposition the Police Force and ensure maximum utilisation of human resources available to the Force.
He said: “The order covers the redeployment of the 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.
“In addition, following the approval of the Police Service Commission, the Inspector-General of Police 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, to Ebonyi State Command and CP Festus Eribo to Akwa-Ibom State Command.”
The IGP, 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.
