The Police Service Commission has redeployed four Commissioners of Police to head various state commands.
The officers affected are Abaniwonda Olufemi, Peter Okpara, Gyogon Grimah, and Mustapha Bala.
This marks the fourth time within a month that Commissioners of Police have been reassigned to different commands. It was learnt that Okpara has been transferred to different commands in three of these redeployments.
In an announcement by the PSC on September 14, Okpara was posted to the Federal Capital Territory Command and was preparing to assume the role when another directive from the Force Headquarters on September 19 instructed him to report to Delta State Command instead. He was replaced by Tunji Disu, who has yet to assume duties at the FCT Command.
From Delta State, Okpara in another statement on Wednesday by the PSC’s spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, has been redeployed to Cross Rivers State.
Also, Abaniwonda Olufemi recently moved to Rivers State Command and has been returned as Commissioner of Police Delta State Command.
The approval for the postings has been conveyed to the Inspector General of Police for implementation in a letter signed by Commission Chairman, DIG Hashimu Argungu ( retd).
