The action which is coming just about fifteen days before the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria is targeted at achieving maximum impact of community-based and strategic policing.
This development was made known in a statement made available to Truetells Nigeria on Friday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
According to the statement, the IG has “ordered the provisional posting of CP Afolabi Babatola Adeniyi to the Adamawa State Police Command as its new Commissioner of Police pending approval of the Police Service Commission while the posting of CP Adebola A. Hamzat, fdc, has been varied to Commissioner of Police in charge of the Border Patrol Force, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
“Similarly, CP Lanre Bankole Sikiru, the former CP Ogun State, has been posted to head the Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID) X-Squad at its Annex in Lagos State. The IGP has tasked the new CP X-Squad to deploy all requisite assets in ensuring sanity, professional standards and discipline in all ramifications.”
The IGP charged the senior police officers to effectively apply their wealth of experiences to improving existing structural arrangements towards achieving a citizen-focused and community-oriented policing system.
He also called for support and cooperation from members of the public to enable the newly posted senior officers to perform optimally on their mandate.
The posting is with immediate effect.
