The Nigeria Police Force has posted the officers deployed
from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to different commands
across the country.
Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general
of police, recalled some officers attached to the anti-graft agency in a bid to
rid the agency of those suspected to have close ties to Ibrahim Magu, the
suspended acting chairman.
In a memo dated August 4, 2020, Alkali Usman, the force
secretary, said eight chief superintendents of police (CSP) had been given new
assignments.
They are Abdullahi Lawal and Ibrahim Aliyu who were
redeployed to Maiduguri, Borno state, Hamisu Dan-Usman and Umar Babangida to
Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, while Mohammed Alkali was moved to Akure, Ondo state.
Others include Mailafia Yakubu posted to Awka, Anambra
state, Denis Neanolue to Katsina and Abdullahi Mohammed to Interpol.
He said the redeployment is with immediate effect.
Adamu had ordered the withdrawal of policemen attached to
Magu shortly after the probe into the EFCC began.
Also, 12 directors at the commission were suspended
indefinitely.
Some of the officials had been involved in investigating
corruption allegations against Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation
(AGF), who had recommended Magu’s removal.
