The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the immediate redeployment of Commissioners of Police in the Federal Capital Territory, Rivers State, and Delta State.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, made this known in a statement.
Adejobi said the redeployment includes the following changes: CP Olatunji Disu will now head the FCT Command, replacing CP Peter Opara, who will take over as the new CP of Delta State. Meanwhile, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi will assume leadership of Rivers State Command.
He said in addition to the changes, the IGP has also deployed four new Commissioners of Police to Abia, Lagos, Ebonyi, and Akwa-Ibom State Commands.
According to the Force PRO, the deployments reflect the IGP’s mission to reposition the Police Force, maximise human resources, and enhance security across the country.
The IGP, however, charged the new Commissioners of Police to demonstrate diligence in their duties and develop innovative strategies to address security challenges in their respective areas.
He also urged them to support the ongoing police reform plans, which will contribute to the progress of the Nigeria Police Force and the nation’s growth.
