DCP Disu removed as RRS comander As Major Shake-Up Hits Lagos Security Structure
" Egbeyemi Takes Over"
There seems to be a major shake-up in the Lagos security arrangement as the Commander of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS), DCP Olatunji Disu has been removed.
It was
gathered from a reliable source that Disu, a Deputy Commissioner of Police was removed on Wednesday and directed to report to the Operations Department of the Force Headquarters in Abuja and was immediately replaced by the Chairman of the Lagos State Task Force on Environmental and Other Special Offences, Saheed Egbeyemi.
Likewise, Commander of the Governor’s Monitoring Team (GMT), SP Sola Jejeloye has been upgraded to replace Egbeyemi as the Task Force Chairman, while SP Ibrahim Bakare has been appointed as the GMT Commander.
A source close to the DCP confirmed the shake up to our correspondent on Thursday morning.
According to the source, the State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu retained his position, a development that came as a surprise to many as he has done wonderfully well in the state as commander of RRS.
On Wednesday, Disu had posted a message on his Facebook page and Thepledge learnt that it might not be unconnected to the information which trickled in late Wednesday night.
He wrote: “I’m thankful for my struggle because without it ,I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength. Alhamdullilah Robi Allahmin. New frontiers.”
It was gathered that his redeployment was done in anticipation of a bigger assignment in the police force, which may equally see him being promoted.
