The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the redeployment of officers to fill positions left vacant by those forced to retire due to age falsification and document forgery. Among those redeployed are senior officers assigned to Enugu, including Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ugwu, who has been appointed as the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DC) for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Ebonyi Command, and Iya Umar Mohammed, who will now serve as DC CID in Enugu Command. Additionally, Faruku Umaru has been reassigned as DC DOPS in Enugu, as part of the comprehensive restructuring in response to the scandal.
A list of 467 officers who manipulated their records to extend their service was earlier published.
Some officers retired quietly, while others refused, prompting the police leadership to summon them before a disciplinary committee.
The affected officers, some in service for over four decades, include senior officials from various training courses.
Meanwhile, the police have confirmed the full implementation of the retirements.
A police memo directed all commands and departments to proceed with the decision, ensuring compliance with the regulations.
Here are the newly posted and redeployed senior police officers following the retirement of those implicated in age falsification and forgery:
