Another shake-up in Police Force: 67 ACPs, 70 CSPs redeployed

Determined to reposition the Nigeria Police Force to face the challenges of insecurity in the country, Acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar has effected another major rejig of the senior cadre of the force, involving  mass transfer and posting of 67 Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) and 70 Chief Superintendents of Police (CSPs) across the nation.
It would be recalled that about three weeks ago, the IGP similarly ordered the swapping of 38 Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) and 53 Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) across various commands and formations nationwide.
Moreso, IG Abubakar in a recent parley with newsmen noted that mass transfer would be a regular exercise in line with his transformation agenda to restore the lost glory of the Nigeria Police Force and to square up to security challenges.
Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Frank Mba, in a statement, said this latest move approved by the IGP is part of on-going efforts aimed at restructuring the Nigeria Police Force and repositioning it for greater efficiency.
He said the IGP urged the officers to rededicate themselves to the service of their fatherland and to shun all acts that may portray the Force and the nation in bad light.
The statement added that the affected officers are expected to resume duties in their new commands and formations with immediate effect.
In the latest postings, CSP Adeyinka Adeleke Bode becomes Coordinator, South West Border Patrol while CSP Matthew Amos is in charge of Procurement “C” Dept, Force Headquarters. Others include CSP Hussein Rabiu, A/CDR Warri Delta State; CSP Nosekwu Nosakhare Osakwe, Welfare ‘A’ Dept. FHQ; CSP Abdu Umaru, CID FCT Abuja;  CSP Alhassan Aminu, Intelligence FHQ; CSP Benjamin Onoja, AC ‘X’ SQD zone 6 Calabar; ACP Janet Agbede, AC SCID Oyo State.
