“Reporters have been calling me to find out the major reason for the removal. They asked if they were removed because they were involved in some sharp practices,” said Ms Talabi. “All I can say for now is that it is a regular routine for the NIS to deploy its officers. There is nothing bad in redeployment. As other events unfold, the service will update Nigerians.”
Ms Talabi also confirmed that Messrs. Liman and Adesokan had been transferred to the service headquarters in Abuja. Mr Dashe was transferred to zone ‘A’ command of the service, covering Ogun and Lagos.
