The Inspector-General of Police (IGP),
Kayode Egbetokun, has approved the appointment of Commissioner of Police (CP)
Abayomi Shogunle to lead the Special Intervention Squad (SIS), Elections
Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, and the Safe School Protection Squad.
Additionally, CSP Chima Ogarashi has been appointed as
the new Force Marine Officer (FMO). The appointments were announced on Friday
in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
According to the statement, these appointments are
part of the IGP’s strategy to strengthen internal security and ensure a quicker
response to violent crimes.
Ogarashi’s appointment is expected to enhance security
operations and crime prevention along the country’s inland waterways.
“The new SIS head, CP Shogunle, is a highly
experienced officer with expertise in operations, public relations, and various
other capacities. He will lead the SIS in tackling security challenges while
also overseeing Elections Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation, and the Safe
School Protection Squad,” the statement said.
It further highlighted that CSP Ogarashi, as the new
FMO, will manage a crucial section of the police force, leveraging his
expertise in maritime security and law enforcement.
These appointments come as the Nigeria Police Force
prepares to deploy 25 newly acquired gunboats and is working to secure
additional maritime safety equipment. This move is part of efforts to improve
security operations on the country’s waterways and boost public confidence in
maritime safety.
The IGP assured the public of the police force’s
commitment to tackling security threats and maintaining a safe environment for
all citizens.
