Inspector General of Police, Mr. Usman Alkali Baba, has deployed new Commissioner of Police and Special Forces to Anambra State.
The deployment of a new police boss for Anambra State was not unconnected to the rising insecurity in the state ahead of the November 2021 gubernatorial elections.
New police boss in Anabra State is Mr. Echeng Echeng.
Mr. Echeng Echeng is taking over from CP Tony Olofu, who has been redeployed to the Force Headquarters, in Abuja.

Also, IGP Baba has also ordered the deployment of a detachment of NPF Special Forces to complement the ongoing peace-building efforts of the Nigeria Police Operation Restore Peace in Anambra State.
This was contained in a statement on Tuesday, by the Force Spokesman, Mr. Frank Mba, titled, ‘IG orders posting of CP Echeng Echeng as new commissioner of police, Anambra State.’
It said, “The IGP, who is particularly concerned by the renewed incidents of attacks on innocent individuals and symbol of state authority in the state, ordered the new commissioner of police to mobilise both kinetic and non-kinetic law enforcement and crime- fighting approaches to reverse the negative trend, reclaim public spaces from hoodlums and restore public peace in the state.”
