NPF confirms that Lagos now has new Police Commissioner, Edgar Imohimi

After a series of embarrassing and unnecessary denials that attended the redeployment of erstwhile Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Fatai Owoseni; and his replacement with Imohimi D. Edgar, the authorities have finally confirmed the media reports.

Earlier in the week, the media had reported the redeployment of Mr. Owoseni to Abuja, but he quickly issued a hot rebuttal that seemed to impugn media’s integrity, saying he was not aware of his redeployment and that he remained Lagos Police Commissioner.

However, the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim. K, Idris, on Thursday, has ordered the posting of Mr. Imohimi D. Edgar to Lagos State Police Command as the new Commissioner of Police.

“Ag/CP Edgar Imohimi has taken over and resumed in official capacity as the Commissioner of Police Lagos State Police Command with immediate effect.

“Formal handing- and taking-over activities are going on smoothly between the former and the present Lagos State CP,” a press statement signed by Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, reveals.Punch
