Moshood Jimoh Appointed Zone 2 AIG as Police Reshuffle Takes Effect
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has approved a major redeployment of senior officers, including the posting of newly promoted officers across various commands and formations in the country.
As part of the shake-up, Moshood Jimoh has been appointed to head Zone 2 Command, which covers Lagos and Ogun States. The appointment follows recent promotions and a broader effort to strengthen operational efficiency within the force.
The redeployment exercise also affects several other senior officers who have been assigned new responsibilities in different state commands and specialized units.
According to police authorities, the postings are aimed at improving coordination, enhancing leadership effectiveness, and ensuring better service delivery in line with the Nigeria Police Force’s reform agenda.
The restructuring comes at a time when security challenges remain a major concern across various parts of the country, prompting the leadership of the force to prioritize strategic deployment of experienced officers.
Security analysts say such postings are routine within the police hierarchy, especially following promotion exercises, but they also play a key role in shaping operational outcomes in different regions.
Zone 2 Command, now under Jimoh’s leadership, is considered one of the most strategically important policing zones due to its economic and population significance.
Officials within the force have urged the newly deployed officers to remain professional, uphold discipline, and strengthen community engagement in their respective jurisdictions.
The police leadership reiterated its commitment to ensuring that personnel are placed in positions where they can best contribute to national security and public safety.
Stakeholders have also called for continued accountability and improved intelligence-led policing to address rising security concerns.
The redeployment is expected to take immediate effect, with officers directed to assume their new duties without delay.
As the new postings take shape, attention will be on how the changes impact policing efficiency and crime management across the affected zones.
The development underscores ongoing efforts within the Nigeria Police Force to optimize leadership structure and operational readiness.
