Embattled Rivers Police Commissioner, Joseph Mbu Removed

Reports just reaching us indicates that the Police Service Commission has transferred the embattled Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mbu.

Following months of political unrest and face-off between the Executive governor, Rotimi Amaechi and Mr. Mbu, the commission Thursday announced his removal.

Mbu has been moved to the Federal Capital Territory Command while the Commissioner in charge of the Special Fraud Unit, Johnson Ogunshakin, replaces him.

The opposition, All Progressives Congress have insisted on Mbu’s removal, accusing him of partisanship and issuing unconstitutional directives.

13 senior officers were affected by the transfer.
