Suleiman Abba, Inspector-General of Police

The Nigerian Police High Command today announced fresh redeployment of commissioners to states and police formations across the country.

A notable highlight was the deployment of a new commissioner to Ogun state, seven days after Mr. Frederick Taiwo Lakanu was posted from Ekiti to the state. The new commissioner is Valentine U. Ntomchukwu, whose last posting was Bayelsa state. The new posting did not indicate Lakanu’s new destination.

But many of the officers whose postings were announced last week on 4 February by the Police Service Commission retained their positions, according to a statement by acting commissioner Emmanuel Ojukwu.

CP Taiwo Lakanu;

The CP in Police Mobile Force (PMF) at the Force Headquarters, Ibrahim Idris, retains the command of Kano State; Karma Hassan, who was CP in Anambra State, retains Rivers State command, while his former Second-in-Command in Anambra, Paul Yakadi, initially announced to take the command in Anambra will now move to Police Mobile Force at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.

And Mohammed Usman is to command Nasarawa State, as originally announced by the police commission.

The posting for the three CPs, who were serving at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPPS), Kuru, did not change.

Musa Katsina Mohammed is to take over in Oyo, Usman Tilli Abubakar takes over Jigawa and Olufemi Ogunbayode is to assume command in Zamfara respectively.

Also, CP Nyats Jatau, who until now was the CP Railway Lagos, is moving to Taraba State Command; Mohammed Mohammed, the hitherto Deputy Commandant of the Police Staff College (PSC) Jos, is to take Command in Bauchi State.

Others are Counter Terrorism Unit CP at the FHQ, Joshak Habila, deployed to Abia State; Salisu Fagge, Sokoto State Command; Damilola Adegbuyi, Edo Command; Danladi Mshelbwala is to take command of Kebbi and Tonye Ebitibituwa is to take charge of Cross River Command.
