No political move in Mbu’s redeployment-IG

The Inspector General of the Nigeria Police Force,(IGP),  Muhammed Abubakar on Friday insisted that the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu was redeployed according to police posting, stressing the move had no political undertone.

This denial was supported by the Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Sir Mike Okiro.

According to Abubakar and Okiro, the force was posed towards training and retraining of its officers in readiness for the forthcoming general elections.

Abubakar said that the passing out parade was an honour to police officers, who had dedicated a long years of service to the force.
Okiro added: “ Mbu was not redeployed as a result of any political crisis in Rivers.  Mbu was also not redeployed to Abuja as a result of any petition received by to the police service commission.”
