The affected ACPs included Area commanders and others heading strategic departments in the Command headquarters.
A Police source who confirmed the development on Wednesday described it as “a tsunami,” saying the Command had never witnessed such massive transfers.
It was gathered that the IGP transferred the Imo CP to Bauchi State Command.
According to the source, the Commissioner of Police in charge of Kogi State Command, Ali Janga, has been transferred to Imo State.
