In a move aimed at tightening internal efficiency and boosting public confidence, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has approved the deployment of a newly promoted Deputy Inspector-General and 17 Commissioners of Police to key departments, commands and formations across Nigeria.
The deployment, according to the Force Headquarters, is designed to strengthen operational capacity, enhance leadership effectiveness and improve service delivery within the Nigeria Police Force.
Under the new arrangement, DIG Mohammed Usaini Gumel has been posted to head the Force Intelligence Department (FID), a critical arm responsible for intelligence gathering and analysis.
Several Commissioners of Police were also assigned to strategic state commands, including CP Aina Adesola to Delta State, CP Umar Mohammed Hajedia to Kebbi State, and CP Iyamah Daniel Edobor to Bayelsa State.
Other senior officers were deployed to specialised units and departments such as anti-human trafficking, marine and maritime commands, community policing, training institutions, X-Squad, railway and highway safety formations, as well as investigative and logistics units at the Force Headquarters and FCID annexes across the country.
IGP Egbetokun charged the officers to bring their wealth of experience to bear in their new roles, emphasising professionalism, integrity, ethical conduct and strict adherence to the rule of law as non-negotiable standards.
The latest postings signal the Police leadership’s resolve to reposition the Force for more effective policing, intelligence-driven operations and improved public safety nationwide.
