Adejobi noted that the posting was with immediate effect.

The IGP, however, urged the new CP X-Squad to deploy all requisite assets in ensuring sanity, professional standards, and discipline in all ramifications.

Baba also charged the senior police officers to effectively apply their wealth of experiences to improving existing structural arrangements towards achieving a citizen-focused and community-oriented policing system.

He also called for support and cooperation from Nigerians to enable the newly posted senior officers to perform optimally on their mandate.
