State Elections: Police Commissioners Deployed to
Senatorial Districts
In line with his stated commitment towards providing adequate
security for the General Elections, the Inspector General of
Police, Ag. IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has deployed Seven (7) Deputy
Inspectors General of Police (DIGs) to the six geo-political zones
across the Country, Ten (10) Assistant Inspectors General of Police
(AIGs) to the police zonal commands and additional Two Hundred and
Seventy Seven (277) Commissioners of Police to complement the
efforts of the respective Commissioners of Police in the thirty-six
(36) State Commands and the FCT.
With this deployment, each command now has additional three CPs
deployed to the three (3) senatorial districts in their respective
states of assignment which will form part of security management
base for the command CPs. However, based on security assessment
earlier carried out by the Force, some Local Government Areas in
Plateau, Benue, Imo and Taraba States have one Commissioner of
Police each deployed to coordinate security in the LGA.
Each of them is expected to work with the Command CP and to
ensure that no stone is left unturned towards emplacing adequate
security including the supervision of security personnel deployed
to each of the Senatorial Districts under their watch.
Meanwhile, four (4) Commands, Anambra, Bayelsa, Edo and Sokoto
have new CPs posted specifically as Command CP for purposes of the
election.
The IGP assures that just as in the recently concluded
Presidential and National Assembly elections, the Nigeria Police
Force shall remain civil, firm, optimally professional and
apolitical in the discharge of our duties in the 9th March, 2019
elections.
