The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has removed CP Fatai Owoseni as the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, and appointed Imohimi Edgal, as the new CP.
Edgal was in June promoted to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and was in charge of Operations in Lagos.
Sources said Owoseni has been posted to the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, in Jos.
Edgal was enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force, as a cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police, on February 2, 1986, serving in various commands and formations of the NPF within the country in several capacities, spending most of his days at the Lagos State Police Command.
A 1984 graduate of Art at the University of Jos, who went on to bag a master degree in Public and International Affairs at the University of Lagos in 2004, Edgal is highly trained on Community and Intelligence Gathering Policing, enabling him in organising the first Community Policing summits in Ikeja GRA, Lagos State.
