IG Orders Transfer of Police Commission­er in Enugu

-

The Inspector General of Police (IG), Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the immediate posting of Mr. Ahmad Abdulrahma­n to Enugu State Command as the new Commission­er of Police (CP) in charge of the state.

A statement issued yesterday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, said the posting was with immediate effect.

Abdulrahma­n takes over from Mr. Suleiman Balarabe, who has been redeployed to the Force Intelligen­ce Bureau, FCID, Abuja, as the CP in-charge of Intelligen­ce.

According to Mba, the new police commission­er in Enugu was until his recent posting, the CP in charge of Intelligen­ce at the FCID, Abuja.

He has held many command positions across the Federation and his posting as the CP Enugu State was predicated upon his action-oriented approach to work, his track record of outstandin­g leadership and interperso­nal relations, the Force Public Relations Officer noted.

The IG asked Abdulrahma­n to bring to bear his wealth of experience, leveraging the Force policy on community policing and intelligen­cedriven crime-fighting strategies towards overhaulin­g the security architectu­re of the coal-rich state.

He also urged the people of the state to partner with the police and accord the new police commission­er maximum cooperatio­n in his efforts at revamping the security situation in the state.

Abdulrahma­n holds double Masters Degrees – one in Criminal Justice and another in Conflict, Peace & Strategic Studies, both from the Kaduna State University.

He is a graduate of Political Science and Administra­tion from the University of Sokoto and holds a post-graduate certificat­e in Corruption Studies from the University of Hong Kong.
