IG Redeploys 14 CPs, Sends 6 AIGs On Capacity Building Course

The IGP said the redeployment is in his avowed efforts to reposition the Police Force for greater efficiency and better performance in the fight against crime and criminality.

A statement by Mr. Frank Mba, Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, said the affected CPs have been urged to vigorously step up the fight against all forms of criminality in their new Commands and Formations.

“They are enjoined to leverage on the cordial relationship among sister security agencies in their respective beats, to ensure that criminal activities are reduced to the barest minimum,” Monday’s statement said.

They have also been charged to ensure that officers and men under their supervision are mindful of the rights of the citizenry, while cultivating the trust and confidence of the public in the discharge of their statutory responsibilities,” the statement read in part.

The 14 newly redeployed CPs are: Lawal Taiwo (Borno); Ibrahim Ahmed (Zamfara); Hilary Okpara (Bayelsa); Maigari Dikko (Ebonyi); Adebayo Ajileye (Inspectorate ‘E’ Dept, FHQ); Adeola A. Adeniji (Border Patrol) and Waheed O. Salau (Airport).
