The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has approved the deployment of four new Police Commissioners to oversee Commands in Abia, Lagos, Ebonyi, and Akwa-Ibom State.

The newly appointed Commissioners are CP Danladi Nda (Abia State Command), CP Olanrewaju Ishola Olawale (Lagos State Command), CP Anthonia Adaku Uche-Anya (Ebonyi State Command) and CP Festus Eribo (Akwa-Ibom State Command).

These deployments reflect the IGP’s mission to reposition the Police Force, maximize human resources, and enhance security across the country.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Egbetokun charged the new Commissioners of Police to demonstrate diligence in their duties and develop innovative strategies to address security challenges in their respective areas.

He also encouraged them to support the ongoing police reform plans, which will contribute to the progress of the Nigeria Police Force and the nation’s growth.

This move is reminiscent of previous redeployments, such as the 2023 election duty redeployment of senior police officers, including AIG Abutu Yaro and CP Okon Effiong. The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to ensuring effective policing and maintaining public safety.

On the other hand, the IGP has mandated the immediate transfer of Police Commissioners to different areas.

This tactical decision is designed to improve the Police Force’s performance and guarantee successful law enforcement.

Naija News understands that the transfers will involve the following adjustments: CP Olatunji Disu will lead the Police Force in the Federal Capital Territory, with CP Peter Opara moving to Delta State to become its new head. At the same time, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi will become the leader of the Police Force in Rivers State.
