The Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has approved the deployment of 38 Commissioners of Police to various State Commands and Police Formations throughout the country.
This strategic initiative, which aims to improve security and intelligence-led policing, involves the deployment of nine CPs to state commands and 29 CPs to other formations.
Among those assigned to state commands are CP Ibrahim Balarabe Maikaba (Zamfara), CP Bretet Emmanuel Simon (Taraba), CP Christopher Ado Emmanuel (Yobe), CP Olusegun Eyitayo Omosayin (Cross River), CP Adamu Abdullahi Elleman (Niger), CP Sani Omolori Aliyu (Bauchi), CP Bello Shehu (Katsina), CP Saka Adewale Ajao (Federal Capital Territory), and CP Ojo Adekimi (Kwara).
According to a statement released on Friday by Force spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi, the deployment of 29 CPs to various police formations is part of broader measures to improve operational efficiency, address security concerns, and ensure a more responsive and community-orientated policing approach.
He said, “In addition to these State Command appointments, the deployment also includes the posting of 29 CPs to various police formations as part of a broader effort to address rising security challenges and ensure effective policing that is responsive to community needs. Each CP will be tasked with implementing tailored strategies that reflect the unique requirements of their respective formations, ensuring that policing is both proactive and effective.”
According to Adejobi, the IGP has charged the newly deployed CPs with prioritising intelligence-led policing, combating insecurity, and upholding professional ethics in the performance of their duties.
