Controversial Rivers Police Commissioner Mbu Removed

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has announced the removal of the controversial Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, Joseph Mbu, and posted him to the Federal Capital Territory with immediate effect.

SaharaReporters had exclusively reported on Monday that the controversial cop, who had become a key figure in the political crisis in Rivers State, was slated for removal and reposting.

He will be replaced by Johnson (Tunde) Ogunsakin, who until the PSC announcement was the commissioner in charge of the Special Fraud Investigations Unit in Lagos.

The PSC also announced the redeployment of several other commissioners, all of them to take effect immediately.

PSC Chairman Mike Okiro urged all the officers to put in their best in their various commands in order to provide a secure environment for business and life to thrive.
