Another source reportedly said Adamu is not ready to redeploy any cony officer for now which was why he reverted the deployment of Lagos State Police Commissioner, Imohimi Edgal.

The source said: “Adamu is not prepared to redeploy any police officer in a hurry, the reason he reverted the deployment of Lagos State Police Commissioner, Imohimi Edgal. He wants to stabilise and explore the experiences of the DIGs. Moreover, some of them are his course-mates and he is comfortable working with them.

“He has already told them to stay and work with him to move the Force forward. He is an intellectual who would not give in to gossips and unprofessionalism.”

The source claimed he police chief does not want to following the decision made Idris “who recommended the retirement of over 30 cerebral senior officers even when they pledged allegiance to work with him when he took over two years ago as the IGP.”

Meanwhile, as Mohammed Adamu resumes duty acting inspector general of police, hundreds of police commissioners, deputy commissioners and assistant police commissioners on Wednesday, January, 16, stormed the Force headquarters to lobby the new police chief.

Punch reports that most of the deputy inspectors general of police would be leaving the service, which would create vacancies in the system.
