Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has approved the deployment of Commissioners of Police to state commands and key formations across the country following the endorsement of his recommendations by the Police Service Commission (PSC). The development, announced in a statement on Thursday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, is aimed at strengthening operational effectiveness, improving leadership across commands and advancing the ongoing reform and repositioning of the Nigeria Police Force.

The deployment also covers several strategic units at the Force Headquarters and the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), including the Force Intelligence Department, INTERPOL, Counter Terrorism Unit, Anti-Human Trafficking Unit, Department of Finance and Administration, Department of Training and Development, Police Academy and Police Staff College.

IGP Disu charged the newly deployed senior officers to apply their experience in strengthening intelligence-led policing, enhancing professionalism, improving operational efficiency and deepening community engagement. He urged them to remain committed to safeguarding lives and property while upholding the highest standards of discipline, accountability and service delivery. The police leadership said the strategic postings form part of broader reforms designed to build internal capacity and deliver more effective policing services across Nigeria.
