Controversial AIG Mbu redeployed to Lagos, Ogun

Controversial Assistant Inspector General of Police, Joseph Mbu, has been redeployed to Zone 2 Police Command.
The Command oversees Lagos and Ogun States.
The movement of Mbu, who was in charge of Zone 7, with headquarters in Abuja, was announced on Tuesday via a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu.
Mbu, who had a running battle with the Rivers State Governor, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, will be replacing Umaru Manko, who has been moved to the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Plateau State.
Mbu’s latest controversial statement was his threat to wipe out any village where a police officer under his Command is killed.
Ojukwu said the redeployment of Mbu and other AIGs was part of the ongoing reorganization in the Nigeria Police Force by the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba.
The postings, which take with immediate effect, sees the redeployment of 28 AIGs to various departments, Zonal Commands and Formations of the Force.
This followed the recent promotion of some senior officers and vacancies occasioned by retirements.
Ojukwu added in the statement: “While charging the Senior Officers to bring their experience to bear on their new postings and be more service-oriented in the discharge of their constitutional responsibilities, the IGP urges the public to partner closely with the force in its determination to ensure improved safety and security of our country.”

Below is the breakdown of some of the redeployment:
AIG Zone 1 Kano, Tambari Mouhammed; Zone 2 Lagos, Joseph Mbu; Zone 3 Yola, Mohammed Abubakar; Zone 4 Makurdi, Adenrele Shinaba; Zone 5 Benin, Musa Daura; and Zone 6 Calabar, Johnson Ogunsakin.

Helen Adeyemi is now AIG, Maritime Force Headquarters; Lawal Tanko, AIG, Police Mobile Force Headquarters; and Yahaya Ardo, AIG Counter Terrorism Unit, Force Headquarters.
Meanwhile, the Police Service Commission on Tuesday approved the promotion of one Assistant Inspector-General of Police with immediate effect.
