The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has approved the redeployment and posting of four Deputy Inspectors General and three Assistant Inspectors General.
This is coming on the heels of the recent disengagement from the Force of two DIGs and the promotion and subsequent decoration of two new DIGs and three AIGs.
According to the Posting and Redeployment Order dated January 27, 2014, DIG Atiku Y. Kafur, who was in charge of the Department of Research and Planning, now heads the Department of Training.
The Department of Research and Planning is now headed by DIG Abdulrahaman O. Akano, who until his recent posting was in-charge of the Department of Information and Communications Technology.
DIG Zuokumor Michael, one of the two newly promoted DIGs, is now in charge of the Department of Operations.
DIG Zuokumor was until his recent promotion the AIG in charge of Zone 4, with headquarters in Makurdi, Benue State.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology is now headed by DIG Jonathan Johnson, who was also recently promoted.
Jonathan was before now the AIG in charge Zone 6, Calabar, Cross River State.
Three other DIGs retained their previous postings.
They are: DIG Suleiman Dauda Fakai in charge of the Department of Finance and Administration; DIG Emmanuel Udeoji in charge of the Department of Logistics and Supply; and DIG Peter Gana in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department.
All the DIGs are automatic members of the Police Management Team.
In a related development, the IGP has also ordered the posting of the three newly promoted AIGs.
Accordingly, AIG Kakwe C. Katso is now posted to National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Jos, Plateau State as a Directing Staff.
In the same vein, AIG Fana A. Salisu, who was previously the CP Force Quarter Master, is now the AIG in charge of Works, Force Headquarters, Abuja while AIG Musa A. Daura is now the AIG in charge of Zone 6, Calabar.
Similarly, CP Adeola Adeleke Adeniji now holds forte at Zone 4 Headquarters Makurdi.
While wishing the officers success in their new assignments, Abubakar enjoined them to provide effective leadership for their subordinates and intensify the war against terrorism and all shades of crime.
