Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase, has deployed new Commissioners of Police to Lagos, Rivers and Ogun states, and some other Force Headquarters Formations.
Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Abayomi Shogunle, said in a statement issued this evening in Abuja that the move was informed by Arase’s decision “to inject fresh ideas in the security architecture” in the affected commands.
He said that the new postings are as stated below:
S/NO RANK NAME POSTING
1 CP Ajani Fatai Owoseni CP Lagos State Command
2 CP Chris Ezike CP Rivers State Command
