IGP Revamp Police Formation

…..Redeploys CP Danjuma Aboki To Imo, 25 Others To Commands, Formation

Less than 48 hours before the state’s November 11 governor’s race, Imo State received a redeployment of Commissioner of Police Danjuma Aboki by Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun.

Aboki, who became a CP on October 12, will succeed CP Mohammed Barde in overseeing the state’s security for the next election.

Remember that the IGP dismissed CP Barde after the organized labor in the country accused him of being political and participating in the attack on its president, Joe Ajaero, when he was in the state.

According to reports, the recent redeployment now has CP Barde heading the Safer Highways FHQ (Force Headquarters).

“CP Aboki and CP Barde’s redeployment is among the 40 redeployments of senior officers to the nation’s formations and commands, announced by the spokesperson of the police, Muyiwa Adejobi on Thursday.

“The IGP ordered the redeployment of 14 Assistants Inspectors General of Police, AIGs and 26 CPs.

“Among the AIGs is also the newly promoted Lagos Police boss, Idowu Owohunwa who now heads the Force Criminal Investigation Department, FCID Annex Alagbon Lagos.

“His posting to the FCID officially leaves the office of Lagos Police Commissioner vacant, pending the redeployment of a senior officer to head the position. THE MATRIX gathered that Lagos State is a sensitive environment, and the deployment of a police commissioner would be announced soon.”
