The immediate former Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Frank Mba, has been redeployed by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Usman Alkali Baba, along with six other Commissioners of Police (CPs).
A statement issued on Saturday by the spokesman of the police, Mr Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed that Mr Mba is now the CP for Border Patrol Force in Abuja.

Also, the police IG has appointed Mr Sadiq Abubakar as the new CP for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.
Just like Mr Mba, the new FCT Abuja CP joined the police in 1992 as a cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP). He was the Commissioner of Police Peacekeeping Operations and Coordinator of Police Special Forces before his nomination for the Senior Executive Course at the National Institute between February and December 2022.
The other CPs redeployed by Mr Baba are CP Arungwa N. Udo to CP DFA Force Intelligence Bureau, Force Headquarters, Abuja; CP Bardaru B. Lawal to CP General Investigations, Force Criminal Investigations Department Annex, Kaduna; CP Suleiman A. Yusuf to CP Admin, Research and Planning, Force Headquarters, Abuja; CP Ebong E.
