Mbu, controversial police officer, moved to Lagos for Elections

Ahead of the battle-royale February 14 presidential election, the Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, has redeployed 14 Assistant Inspectors-General of Police to various departments, zonal commands and formations of the force.

One of them is the controversial AIG in charge of Zone 7, Abuja, who has been moved to Lagos in what some credible sources confirmed was informed by the general elections.

Mbu, a former Rivers State Commissioner of Police, had a running battle with Governor Rotimi Amaechi. Shortly after he was transferred to Abuja as CP in September last year, he described himself as a lion who tamed "the leopard of Port Harcourt” in apparent reference to Governor Amaechi.

Just last week, Mbu threatened to “bring down” any community that killed policemen on duty.

As the CP in charge of the FCT, he issued a directive banning the #BringBackOurGirls coalition from holding their street protests, but he was overruled by the then IG, Mohammed Abubakar. The group however sued the police and the case was decided in the favour of the masses.

Others affected by the movements which took immediate effect are Aderenle Shinaba, who goes to Zone 4 in Makurdi, Benue State; Johnson Ogunsakin of Training and Development; Zone 6, Calabar in Cross River State; and Patrick Dokumor of the Nigerian Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Jos in Plateau, Zone 7, Abuja.

Ikemefuna Okoye of the Ogun State Command Command goes to Zone 11, Osogbo in Osun State; Kalafite Adeyemi (Commandant of the Police Staff College, Jos, Plateau State), was deployed to the Maritime Force Headquarters; Jubrin Adeniji of the Maritime FHQ was moved to the 2i/C Force Criminal Investigation Department, FHQ; and Olufemi Adenaike of the Nigerian Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies in Jos to the Training Unit of the FHQ.

Lawal Tanko of the Federal Operations was redeployed to the Police Mobile Force, FHQ, Abuja; Ballah Nasarawa of the Intelligence Unit to the Police Staff College, Jos; and Umaru Manko of Zone 2, Lagos to NIPSS Kuru.

Irimiya Yerima of NIPSS goes to the Communication Department in FHQ, Abuja; and Mark Idakwo of Zone 6, Calabar moves to Federal Operations, Abuja.

Those who were retained in their zones and formations are Tambari Muhammed, AIG Zone 1, Kano; Mohammed Abubakar, Zone 3, Yola; Musa Daura, Zone 5, Benin; Christopher Dega, Zone 8,Lokoja; Usman Gwarry, Zone 9, Umuahia; Bala Hassan, Zone 10,Sokoto; Mohammed Gana, Zone 12, Bauchi and Sule Mamman, AIG Force Secretary, Abuja.

Others are Adisa Bolanta, Police Academy; Edgar Nanakumo, Force Animal Branch; Sabo Ibrahim, Border patrol; Wilfred Obute, Armament FHQ; Ibrahim Maishanu, Force Info-tech; Yahaya Ardo, CTU, Abuja; and Buhari Tanko, Special Duty.

In the statement by Force PRO Emmanuel Ojukwu, IGP Abba charged the affected officers to bring their experience to bear on their new postings and be more service-oriented in the discharge of their duties.
