IGP redeploys eight CPs

IGP Usman Alkali Baba, The Inspector General of Police, has ordered the posting and redeployment of eight Commissioners of Police to state commands and formations across the country for operational and administrative effectiveness.

Baba said the exercise was done in line with the Manpower Development Policy of the Force, adding that it would further improve policing services across the country.

The newly posted/redeployed senior officers are:

i. CP Gombe Command – Etim Effiom

ii. CP Kano Command – Mamman Dauda

iii. CP Bauchi Command – CP Aminu Alhassan

iv. CP CPTU Staff College Jos – Babatunde Ishola

v. CP X-SQUAD FCID Annex Lagos – Mamman Sanda

vi. CP FCID Annex Gombe – John Babangida

vii. CP Safer Highway FHQ Abuja – Akinwale Adeniran

viii. CP DFA FCID Annex Lagos – Abubakar Lawal

These were contained in a statement on Thursday by the Force Spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi.

Adejobi also dispel the claim that the former CP in Kano was redeployed on allegations of corruption.

”Similarly, the Force wishes to urge members of the public to disregard false, unfounded, and misleading news being peddled that the former Commissioner of Police in charge of Kano State, CP Abubakar Lawal, was redeployed from Kano on allegations of corruption.

“This is to re-emphasise that postings in the Force are a normal routine geared towards strengthening human capacity and knowledge diffusion for the betterment of the Force,” he said.
