Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has deployed Seven Deputy Inspectors-General of Police, to the six geo-political zones across the Country.

According to Force Police Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, ten Assistant Inspectors-General of Police were also deployed to zonal commands.

Mba, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, said an additional 277 Commissioners of Police, CPs, were also deployed to the thirty-six states commands and FCT to complement the efforts of the commissioners in the commands.

According to him, each command now has additional three CPs deployed to the three senatorial districts in their respective states of assignment.

He said based on security assessment earlier carried out by the force, some Local Government Areas in Plateau, Benue, Imo and Taraba have one commissioner of police each to coordinate security in the LGAs.

The spokesman said each of them was expected to work with the command CP to ensure adequate security in each of the senatorial districts under their watch.

In a related development, Mba said four CPs have been posted to Anambra, Bayelsa, Edo and Sokoto commands specifically for the Saturday elections.

He said the I-G has reassured the force would remain civil, firm, professional and apolitical in the discharge of their duties in the Saturday elections.
