A new Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Hussani, has assumed office in Imo State.

This comes amid the seemingly unending attacks by “unknown gunmen” who have destroyed police formations, prisons, offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission, amongst others in the state.

A statement by the police spokesperson in the state, Michael Abattam, said that the immediate past CP, Abutu Yaro, had been redeployed to Force Provost Department, Force Headquarters, Abuja.

The statement read, “The Imo State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that a new Commissioner of Police has been posted to the Command. He is CP Hussaini Rabiu, psc. He takes over from CP Abutu Yaro, fdc, who has been redeployed to Force Provost Department, Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Abuja.

“CP. Hussaini Rabiu, psc, hails from Niger State and was enlisted into the force as a cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police in 1990. He holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education History.

“He is the immediate past Commissioner of Police, Zamfara State, before his redeployment to Imo State Police Command.
