I Remain Lagos State Commissioner Of Police – Edgal Imohimi

Edgal Imohimi, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, has made it known that he is not stepping down from his office as he remains the police boss in the state despite the redeployment reports. Recall on Sunday, January 13th, there were reports that Imohimi had been redeployed to Abuja as the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Explosive Ordinance Unit at the Force Headquarters. Imohimi was to hand-over to Kayode Egbetokun yesterday, January 15th. At the hand-over ceremony, Imohimi, however, refused to proceed claiming he had received an order from above to remain as the Commissioner. “I am sure that you know Mr Kayode Egbetokun, he is an old timer in the command. You all know that our first job is about order and direction. We were about concluding the handing and taking over procedure when we were instructed by our bosses from Abuja to suspend action for now. So, there will be no change of guard for now. Of course, we would keep the press briefed about any development.  But I am happy, humbled that you find it serious enough for you all to come to witness what we are doing here. I consider it an honor.” he said Photo Credit: Getty
