After a series of embarrassing and unnecessary denials that attended the redeployment of erstwhile Commissioner of Police , Lagos State Command , Fatai Owoseni ; and his replacement with Imohimi D. Edgar , the authorities have finally confirmed the media reports .

Earlier in the week, the media had reported the redeployment of Mr . Owoseni to Abuja , but he quickly issued a hot rebuttal that seemed to impugn media ’ s integrity , saying he was not aware of his redeployment and that he remained Lagos Police Commissioner .

However , the Inspector General of Police , Ibrahim . K, Idris , on Thursday , has ordered the posting of Mr . Imohimi D . Edgar to Lagos State Police Command as the new Commissioner of Police .
“ Ag/CP Edgar Imohimi has taken over and resumed in official capacity as the Commissioner of Police Lagos State Police Command with immediate effect .

“ Formal handing - and taking- over activities are going on smoothly between the former and the present Lagos State CP, ” a press statement signed by Police Public Relations Officer , ASP Olarinde Famous- Cole, on behalf of the Commissioner of Police , Lagos State Police Command , reveals.

.

At last, Owoseni bows out.

So why the initial back and forth in whether he has been transferred or not? Just too sad for this shithole of a country that a strategic change in police leadership in a state like Lagos is subjected to unnecessary hullabaloo of this nature.

Transfer/redeployment is part of d job. Weldone Cp Owoseni.
