IGP Redeploys Eight CPs, Says Posting Normal – P

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, 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.
