The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the transfer of 1,332 personnel from the Delta State Command following public outrage over the extrajudicial k!lling of a civilian.
Force Headquarters spokesperson, Tony Placid, disclosed the development yesterday, May 6, stating that the large-scale redeployment was approved by the police high command.
The directive by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) was reportedly triggered by the controversial k!lling of 28-year-old Oghenermine Mena, as well as allegations of unprofessional conduct against some officers in the command.
Sources familiar with the development said the IGP was angered by what was described as the “excesses of deviant officers,” prompting a major shake-up across divisions and departments in the state command.
The transfer affects both senior officers and rank-and-file personnel, making it one of the largest internal redeployments in recent times.
