Police IG Redeploys Imo State Police Commissioner


The acting Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered the appointment of a new Commissioner of Police for Imo State.

CP Abutu Yaro is now expected to take over from CP Nasiru Mohammed, who was deployed to the state in January.

In a statement on Tuesday signed by police spokesman Frank Mba, Yaro’s posting “is in furtherance of efforts by the Police leadership towards strengthening security, tackling violent crimes and enhancing optimal coordination of policing operations within the State.”

Yaro, a fellow of the National Defence College and the immediate-past Commissioner of Police, Zamfara State Command, is an operationally-minded Cop, the statement said.


Meanwhile, Mohammed has been redeployed to Western Port Authority, Lagos.
