The Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has assigned positions to the new Deputy Inspectors-General of Police within the Nigerian Police Force.
Naija News reports that the postings cover various directorates and specialised units within the force.
As earlier reported by Naija News, IGP Disu had earlier on Monday, decorated the newly promoted Deputy Inspectors-General of Police and charged them to strengthen intelligence-led policing across the country.
Disu also urged the senior officers to deepen inter-agency collaboration and improve operational coordination within the Nigeria Police Force.
In a fresh development, an internal wireless message from the Force Secretary shows that the newly promoted DIGs, as well as DIG Fayoade Adegoke, who had been decorated the previous week, have now been assigned fresh responsibilities.
The message confirmed that the reshuffle is part of standard administrative measures to strengthen operational efficiency across the force.
The officers and their new assignments are as follows: DIG Zachariah Fera Achinyan – Department of Legal Services (DLS), FHQ Abuja; DIG Zango Ibrahim Baba – Department of Research & Planning (R&P), FHQ Abuja; DIG Isyaku Mohammed – Department of Training and Development (DTD), FHQ Abuja and DIG Margaret Ochalla – Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Abuja.
Others are DIG Mohammed Sulaiman – Department of Finance and Administration (DFA), FHQ Abuja; DIG Kenechukwu Aig Onwuemelie – Force Intelligence Department (FID), Abuja; DIG Fayoade Adegoke Mustapha – Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT), FHQ Abuja and DIG Umar Shehu Nadada – Department of Operations (DOPS), FHQ Abuja
The directive, classified as “most immediate,” was circulated across multiple commands, departments, and specialised units of the Nigeria Police, including border patrol, maritime, anti-bomb, K9, and various state commands.
Officers were instructed to update internal records to reflect the new postings.
