The deputy inspector-general of police, Mohammed Abdul, has directed operatives in Kaduna to sustain offensive operations against bandits and other criminal elements.
Mr Abubakar told officers that the FCID “remains the apex of criminal investigation in Nigeria.”
Mr Egbetokun said the step was aimed at reassuring citizens and travellers of their safety.
Mr Egbetokun commended other security operatives for adequately supporting the Nigeria Police Force during the elections.
He said such alarming reports could be detrimental and counter-productive to national security.
By the appointment, John Amadi would be the DIG representing the South-East geo-political zone.
