The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has redeployed the Commissioner of Police, Rivers Command, Tunji Disu, to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, as part of ongoing efforts to restructure and boost security in the country.
To avoid leadership vacuum in Rivers, the Police boss has redeployed the Delta Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Abaniwonda, to the State while ordering CP Peter Opara to leave the FCT to replace Disu.
As gathered, the signal for the redeployment and restructuring have been approved by the IGP and has been dispatched on Tuesday for implementation.
The Guild learnt that the senior police officers after receiving the signals on their new assignments have started gathering their belongings to resume at the new duty posts.
The redeployment of Disu out of Rivers came barely a year after his posting to the State to address security challenges confronting the state particularly cultism.
During Disu’s stay in Rivers, he led the command to kill 2baba, the suspected gang leader that masterminded the murder of the late DPO of Ahoada Police Division, Bako Angbashim.
Meanwhile, in the signal sighted by The Guild, Abaniwonda, who will be resuming as Rivers CP, leaves Delta barely seven months after resuming at the command to lead the policemen towards curbing security challenges that had crippled businesses within the state.
