Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Olukayode Adeolu Egbetokun has ordered the deployment of 35 Commissioners of Police (CPs) to various state commands and formations across the country.
This followed the approval of his recommendation by the Police Service Commission (PSC).
Egbetokun said the postings were in line with the commitment of the police leadership to ensuring effective policing, security, and the maintenance of law and order in Nigeria.
A statement last night by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), reads: “Amongst the newly posted Commissioners of Police are: CP Adelesi E. Oluwarotimi to Kwara State Command; CP Adebola Ayinde Hamzat, fdc, to Oyo State Command; CP Augustina N.

Egbetokun urged the new CPs to key into his policies, vision, and mission for the Nigerian Police Force.
The police boss mandated them to prioritise the safety and well-being of the citizens they serve, ensure adherence to the principles of fairness, professionalism, and respect for human rights.
He urged them to serve as exemplary leaders by fostering harmonious relationships with other security agencies, community leaders, and relevant stakeholders.
Egbetokun also advised them to promote intelligence-led policing, proactive crime prevention strategies, and community engagement initiatives that will enhance public trust and confidence in the NPF.
