IGP appoints Bala Senchi acting DIG, redeploys three AIGs
The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has appointed Bala Senchi, an Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), as the acting Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) in charge of the Department of Operations.
A statement by the police acting spokesperson Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Saturday said that Mr Senchi becomes the DIG representing the North-West geo-political zone by appointment.
Mr Adejobi said the IGP had also ordered the redeployment of three AIGs, Aji Janga, Police Mobile Force (PMF), Bala Ciroma, Federal Operations (FEDOPS), and Ndatsu Mohammed, Zone 7 Abuja.
He said the redeployments followed the recent vacuum caused by some senior officers’ retirement after the completion of their statutory years of service.
The spokesperson listed the retirees to include Zaki Ahmed, the DIG representing the North-West geo-political zone, immediate past DIG in charge of Operations, and John Abang, AIG Police Mobile Force (PMF).
He quoted the IGP as urging the senior officers to bring their vast experiences and professionalism to bear on the leadership of their respective Departments/Commands to enhance the ongoing repositioning of the Force.
Mr Adejobi said the postings/redeployments were with immediate effect.
