After a notable reshuffle within the Nigerian Police Force, CP Ahmad Tijjani Abdullahi has taken the reins as the 23rd Commissioner of Police, Jigawa State. This development was confirmed by the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Lawan Shiisu Adam, in a statement released to the press on Monday.
The transition follows the elevation of the former Commissioner of Police, CP Effiom Emmanuel Ekot, to the prestigious rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) and his subsequent redeployment to the office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
Prior to his current appointment, CP Abdullahi diligently served as the Deputy Commissioner of Police, overseeing Procurement at the Force Headquarters in Abuja. His transfer to Jigawa State Command as the Commissioner of Police underscores his wealth of experience and expertise in law enforcement.
In assuming his new role, CP Abdullahi has earnestly appealed for collaboration and solidarity from sister security agencies, traditional leaders, religious figures, and other pertinent stakeholders in the collective effort to combat criminal activities within and outside the state.
