Gov Amechi and Joseph Mbu |
The Police Service Commission has
approved the recommendations of the Inspector-General of Police for the
redeployment of Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mbu.
The Police Service Commission has
transferred the Rivers State Police Commissioner, Mbu, to Abuja as the new
Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police.
Also, the Commissioner in charge of
the Special Fraud Unit, Johnson Ogunshakin, has been redeployed to Rivers State
to replace Mbu as the new Commissioner of Police.
The redeployment affects thirteen
(13) Commissioners of Police who have been moved to various Commands
nationwide, as contained in a press release.
CP Mbu has been at the centre of the
crisis rocking the political scene in Rivers State and has been at loggerheads
with the state government, which had accused the police boss of being partisan
with regards to State politics.
The All Progressives Congress, APC
and the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, have consistently called for the
removal of Mr Joseph Mbu, accusing him of being used to frustrate the Governor
and the emergence of the APC in the Niger-Delta state.
The Rivers State Police Public
Relations Officer, Ahmed Mohammed, has however denied knowledge of the
redeployment, he said: “The Command for now is not in receipt of any official
communication about the redeployment of CP Mbu.”
The Chairman of the Police Service
Commission, Sir Mike Okiro, in the press release issued by Mr.Ferdinand
Ekpe, admonished the newly redeployed officers to put in their best in their
various Commands’ operations, so as to provide a secure environment for
business and life to thrive.
Below is the list of the 13
Commissioners of Police approved for redeployment:
