Shake up in police as IGP deploys 14 AIGs, 26 CPs

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, on Thursday announced a major shake up in the force with the redeployment of 40 senior police officers comprising 14 Assistant Inspectors General of Police and 26 Commissioners of Police to various commands and formations across the nation.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement said the postings and redeployments were part of a mandate to have a professionally competent, service-driven, rule of law-compliant, and people-friendly police force, and to reflect the new status of senior officers who were recently elevated to their next ranks.

Among the 14 AIGs are Ogundele Joshua Ayodeji who has been redeployed to Zone 7 Abuja; Patrick Ogon Edung, to Zone 11 Osogbo; and Badru Banji Lawal to Border Patrol FHQ.

Some of the redeployed commissioners of police are Disu Olatunji Rilwan to Rivers state; George Chijioke Chuku to Benue state and CP Ahmed Abdullahi Tijani to Jigawa State.

The IGP had directed the recently posted or redeployed officers to cooperate with the force’s policy and back the government’s goals for the nation’s socio-political development and economic recovery.

The IGP urged them to collaborate with all pertinent stakeholders to bring policing closer to the people, while emphasising the significance of ingraining professionalism and diligent policing services to all officers and men in their commands.
