Sequel to the recent elevation of some senior officers to the rank of Commissioners of Police and the retirement of others, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has directed the immediate redeployment of 11 Commissioners of Police.
The redeployment will cut across Commands and formations and is with immediate effect, the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said on Tuesday.
“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP MD Abubakar has ordered the redeployment of eleven Commissioners of Police (CPs) to Commands and Formations. The IGP’s order followed the recent elevation of some senior officers to the rank of Commissioners of Police and the retirement of some Commissioners of Police in State Commands and Police Formations,” Mba announced.
Mba stated further that the newly redeployed Commissioners have been charged to show commitment in the fight against crime and criminality in their respective new beats.
“They are to ensure that they work cordially with the public and to serve as motivation to their subordinate officers in the discharge of their onerous responsibilities,” he said.
In line with the recent directive by President Goodluck Jonathan, the IGP has also directed the CPs to be mindful of the fundamental rights of the citizenry and ensure that they attend to complaints promptly so as to avoid the miscarriage of justice.
The IGP further directed all effected officers to ensure that handing and taking over exercises are completed as when due.
The affected officers are: Agboola Oshodi-Glover – Kwara; Abubakar Adamu Mohammed – Enugu; Tonye Ebiye Ebitibituwa – Bayelsa; Umaru Shehu – Nasarawa; Acting CP Hurdi Mohammed – Katsina; Sylvester – Eastern Port; Kudu Nma – Gombe; Usman Isa Baba – Cooperative; Saidu Madawaki – Border Patrol; Usman Yakubu – Welfare ‘A’ FHQ; and Abdulmajid Ali – CP EOD ‘B’ DEPT, FHQ.
