The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has approved the deployment of Commissioners of Police to eight state commands and key strategic formations across the country following the endorsement of his recommendations by the Police Service Commission.
The deployment, announced on Thursday, is aimed at strengthening operational effectiveness, enhancing leadership across commands and consolidating ongoing reforms within the Nigeria Police Force.
The affected state commands are Abia, Plateau, Bayelsa, Cross River, Anambra, Edo, Jigawa and Delta.
Under the new postings, CP Afolabi Wilfred Olutokunbo takes charge of Abia Command, while CP Ayodeji Faniyan assumes duty in Plateau. CP Saka Adewale Ajao was posted to Bayelsa, CP Ajo Geofrey Ordue to Cross River, CP Nanna Oji Ama to Anambra, CP Patrick Daaor to Edo, CP Tani Murtala to Jigawa and CP Samuel Erale to Delta.
Several other Commissioners of Police were also deployed to strategic formations, including the Force Intelligence Department, Force Criminal Investigation Department, Counter Terrorism Unit, Police Academy, Police Staff College and the Departments of Finance and Administration as well as Training and Development.
Charging the newly deployed officers, the Inspector-General said they must leverage their experience to improve policing across their new areas of responsibility.
“The affected senior officers should bring their wealth of experience to bear in their new assignments by strengthening intelligence-led policing, enhancing operational effectiveness, promoting professionalism, and deepening community engagement in line with the vision of the Force,” Disu said.
He further urged the commissioners to “remain steadfast in safeguarding lives and property while upholding the highest standards of discipline, accountability, and service delivery.”
The Police said the deployments form part of its ongoing reforms aimed at improving operational efficiency, strengthening institutional capacity and delivering more effective policing services nationwide.
