Inspector-General of Police Orders Major Reshuffle: Over 140 Assistant Commissioners Redeployed Across Nigeria

In a significant overhaul of the Nigeria Police Force’s internal command structure, Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has approved the redeployment of over 140 Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) to new commands and departments nationwide.

This sweeping restructuring, documented in an internal wireless communication referenced as TH.5361/FS/FHQ/ABJ/SUB.5/340 and marked “MOST/IMMEDIATE,” highlights the urgency of the transfers. It affects nearly all regions and major operational arms of the force and is believed to be part of broader reforms aimed at improving policing efficiency and strategic deployment.

The document, obtained by SaharaReporters, shows a wide dispersion of ACPs across tactical units, state commands, and directorates, signaling an extensive reorganization designed to enhance security operations at both federal and state levels.

Below is the complete list of the Assistant Commissioners of Police who have been reassigned:
