The Nigeria Police Force has redeployed the officers withdrawn from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to different commands across the country.
EkoHotBlog had reported how the inspector-general of police, Mohammed Adamu, recalled some officers attached to the anti-graft agency in a bid to clear the agency of those suspected to be sympathetic to Ibrahim Magu, the suspended acting chairman.
In a memo dated August 4, 2020, Alkali Usman, the force secretary, said eight chief superintendents of police (CSP) had been given new assignments.
They are Abdullahi Lawal and Ibrahim Aliyu who were redeployed to Maiduguri, Borno state, Hamisu Dan-Usman and Umar Babangida to Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, while Mohammed Alkali was moved to Akure, Ondo state.
Others include Mailafia Yakubu posted to Awka, Anambra state, Denis Neanolue to Katsina and Abdullahi Mohammed to Interpol.
He said the redeployment is with immediate effect.
Adamu had ordered the withdrawal of policemen attached to Magu shortly after the probe into the EFCC began.
