The new commissioners of police are Isah Danladi Nda for Abia command; Olarewaju Ishola Olawale for Lagos command; Anthonia Adaku Uche Anya for Ebonyi command and Festus Eribo for Akwa Ibom command.“The posting of these strategic managers reflects the mission of the Inspector-General of Police to strategically reposition the Police Force and ensure maximum utilization of human resources available to the Force,” the statement reads.
