The Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Ibrahim Gotan, has been redeployed from the state command to the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on a special duty assignment.
It read: “INGENPOL HAS ORDERED THE POSTING OF COMPOL IBRAHIM GOTAN TO CP COMM OPS FHQ ABUJA ON SPECIAL DUTY W.E.F. X TREAT AS VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE.”
The directive means Gotan will serve under the Commissioner of Police in charge of Communications Operations at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on special duty.
The development comes amid heightened political activities in Osun State ahead of the August 15 governorship election, where security has remained a major concern among political stakeholders.
The Special Assistant to Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State on Digital Media, Oni Gbenga Lawrence, as well as the spokesperson of the Adeleke Campaign Organisation, Pelumi Olajengbesi, hailed the development in separate posts on X.
“The Commissioner of Police in Osun State has been removed. We thank the Inspector General of Police for listening to the voice of the people. The will of the people cannot be denied.
“Congratulations to the good people of Osun State,” Lawrence wrote.
