Inspector-general of police (IGP) Usman Baba has ordered the posting/redeployment of deputy inspectors-general of police (DIGs), assistant inspectors-general of police (AIGs) and commissioners of police (CPs) to departments, commands and formations.

Force spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said this is in line with the IGPs manpower development policy of placing round pegs in round holes.

DIG Danmallam Mohammed has been redeployed to the department of finance and administration while DIG Department of Training and Development is Hafiz Inuwa.

DIG Department of Research and Planning is Aji Janga; DIG Department of Operations is Adeleke Bode.

AIG Habu Sani Ahmadu has been posted as Force secretary while AIG Shuaya’u Lafia Abdulyari assumes office as the AIG in charge of the Force Intelligence Bureau, Force Headquarters, Abuja.

Also, in line with the IGP’s mandate and strategies to strengthen the operational structures of state commands, he has equally ordered the provisional posting of the following commissioners of police to commands.

The commissioner of police Adamawa State is now CP Adebola Hamzat; CP Ogun State is now CP Emeka Frank Mba; CP Taraba State is now CP Suleiman Yusuf; CP Lagos State is now CP Idowu Owohunwa; CP Ebonyi State is now CP Faleye E.S. Olaleye.

The IGP has therefore charged the newly posted officers to hit the ground running to ensure the mission, vision, and policy statements of his administration are effectively complied with in the areas of crime-fighting, public cooperation, and safety.

He also called for support and cooperation from members of the public to enable the newly posted senior officers to perform optimally on their mandate.

The posting is with immediate effect.
