Kayode Egbetokun, inspector-general of police, has redeployed three commissioners of police to other commands.
The affected police commands are Rivers, Delta, and the
federal capital territory (FCT).
Olatunji Disu, commissioner of police in Rivers state, has
been transferred to the FCT, while Abaniwonda Olufemi, CP of police in Delta
state, will now become the new CP of Rivers.
Peter Opara, CP of FCT command, will now head the Delta
police command.
In a statement on Thursday, Muyiwa Adejobi, force
spokesperson, said the redeployment is part of “efforts to strategically
emplace a police force well efficient for effective policing”.
Adejobi said the IGP has deployed four substantive commissioners
of police for Lagos, Abia, Ebonyi, and Akwa Ibom commands following the
approval of the Police Service Commission (PSC).
The new commissioners of police are Isah Danladi Nda for
Abia command; Olarewaju Ishola Olawale for Lagos command; Anthonia Adaku Uche
Anya for Ebonyi command and Festus Eribo for Akwa Ibom 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 statement reads.
“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.”
