Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris has reversed the earlier deployment of the Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Undie Adie who was redeployed to the Force Headquarters yesterday and replaced by Bala Ciroma barely 24 hours after the deployment.

According to the Force headquarters in Abuja, Undie was redeployed to the state in order to consolidate more on restoration of peace to the flashpoints.

In a statement issued today, Wednesday by the Plateau State Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Mathias Tyopev, “Posting and deployment of Police personnel is at the discretion of the Inspector General of Police and it is a normal routine in the Force.

“The Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris has reversed the earlier deployment of CP Undie Adie to Force Headquarters, Abuja back to Plateau State Command. CP Bala Ciroma has since handed over and returned to the Force Headquarters, Abuja.

“It is the reasoning of the Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris that CP Undie Adie understands the terrain better as such he is to remain and steer the ship off the tides. CP Adie has already taken over the Command and thanks the people of Plateau for the cooperation so far received and solicits for more synergy.”

It was alleged that Undie was complacent in the attacks that claimed over 200 lives in the troubled Riyom, Barkin Ladi and Jos South LGAs of the state.
