The new commissioner, who takes over from CP Betty Enekpen Isokpan Otimenyin, has been tasked with the job of preventing any reprisal attack after the recent incident of lynching 16 hunters in Uromi, Esan North-East LGA of the State.

The new Edo CP was also advised to avoid sidelining the requisite Police departments for tactical units.

Spokesperson of the ICPC, Ikechukwu Ani, said: “The new Edo State Commissioner of Police was at the Police Service Commission for a posting interview presided over by chairman of the commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu and supported by Justice Paul Adamu Galumje, retired Justice of the Supreme Court, who is representing the judiciary in the commission and Chief Onyemuche Nnamani, secretary to the commission.

“The leadership of the commission charged the new commissioner to be proactive and to settle down quickly so as to reduce the crime rate in the state and also advised to look into the issues surrounding the recent killings in the state and was reminded that what he does or not with the arrested suspects from the killings will determine his success or not in the state.”
