Abuja, Nigeria – The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has approved a major redeployment of senior officers across the Nigeria Police Force as part of efforts to improve operational efficiency and strengthen leadership nationwide.
The postings, which affect several Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) and Commissioners of Police (CPs), are aimed at reinforcing the Force’s command structure and ensuring effective service delivery across key departments, formations, and state commands. AIG Ado Emmanuel has been assigned to Research and Planning at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, while AIG Joseph Eribo takes over at the Department of Armament. Other key appointments include AIG Miller Dantawaye to Operations, AIG Henry Uche to Training and Development, and AIG Olanrewaju Ogunlowo to Police Accounts and Budget.
Okay News reports that several AIGs have also been deployed to zonal commands and strategic units across the country. AIG Dahiru Mohammed has been posted to Zone 15 in Maiduguri, AIG Dankombo Morris to Zone 4 in Makurdi, and AIG Olohundare Jimoh to Zone 2 in Lagos. Others include AIG Ahmed Musa to Community Policing, AIG Haruna Olufemi to the Special Protection Unit, and AIG Simeon Akpanudom to the FCID Annex in Lagos.
In a similar move, multiple Commissioners of Police have been reassigned to various state commands and departments. CP Muhammed Sanusi Ahmed has been posted to the Federal Capital Territory Command, CP Olatunji Fatai to Lagos State Command, and CP Olugbenga Abimbola to Oyo State Command. CP Yakubu Dankaro will now head Adamawa State Command, while CP Ahmed Bello takes charge in Zamfara State.
Additional postings include strategic roles in specialized units and institutions. CP Akan Ezima has been appointed Director of the NPF-NCCC in Abuja, CP Ajo Geoffrey Ordue to INTERPOL, and CP Mnwadiogbu Cletus as Deputy Commandant of POLAC. Others have been assigned to departments such as General Investigation, SWAT, Community Policing, and administrative units within the Force Headquarters.
