The Assistant Inspector-General of
Police (AIG), Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos, Mr. Abdulmajid Ali, yesterday, distanced
himself from reports making the wave that he was not too happy with his recent
re-deployment by the police hierarchy.
According to Ali, who fumed over the
report, attributed to him, he had no reason to complain since posting and
transfer were part and parcel of policing.
The reports alleged that some
policemen, working at Zone 2, were protesting his transfer, especially since he
had not spent up to three months there. Ali was transferred last week. The incoming
is Kayode Aderanti, former Commissioner of Lagos State, now and an AIG.
Ali said: “Transfer is part of police duty which I’m
bound to obey. My posting to Zone 2 was a privilege and not my
birthright. In my 30 years in service, I have served in many capacities
assigned to me without complaint. I have served very well in all the six
geo-political zones in the country without blemish. I have a great
respect for our Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris and confidence
in his management team. I’m loyal and remain committed to the constituted
authority in the force and cannot protest against decisions which I know must
be in the best interest of the force and the country at large. There is no
belabouring the fact that our IGP is honestly committed and dedicated to the
good ideals that will propel the force to greater heights. It will be unfair
for anybody to ascribe to him, acts inimical to the growth of the force.”
Recall that the AIG Ali was recently
re-deployed to the Force headquarters, Abuja, barely two months after he
assumed duties in Zone 2 comprising Lagos and Ogun States.
Similarly,
Police authorities in Abuja also debunked the
report alleging that the recent transfer carried out by the IGP, was done to
witch hunt some officers.
According
to a statement by Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Don Awuna, transfers
and postings within the police force is routine exercise.
