The Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has approved the posting of newly promoted senior officers to various strategic positions across the Nigeria Police Force.

The redeployment affects officers recently elevated to the rank of assistant inspector-general of police (AIG), with key appointments spanning zonal commands and departments at the force headquarters in Abuja.

Among the postings, Moshood Jimoh, formerly the Lagos state commissioner of police, has been assigned to head Zone 2 command in Lagos. He is to be replaced by Olatunji Fatai as the new commissioner of police in the state.
