IG recalls Imo CP, DCs two days after removal

The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has recalled Dasuki Galadanchi to Imo state as the commissioner of police in charge of the command, two days after he was transferred out of the state.

Also recalled were three deputy commissioners of police and eleven assistant commissioners of police redeployed to various states of the federation by the police chief.

The IGP had on Wednesday redeployed Galadanchi to Bauchi State and posted the current Commissioner of Police in charge of the Kogi State command, Ali Janga, to the state.

But 48 hours later, the IGP did a volte-face by cancelling the transfers.

Our correspondent gathered that a signal came on Friday morning stating that all the transferred police officers should return to their former offices with immediate effect.
