IGP Olukayode Egbetokun has ordered the deployment of 35 police commissioners to states and formations nationwide.
Mr Adekusibe’s outburst sparked widespread condemnation from Nigerians.
“The man was never a drunk. In fact, I was told he is a very nice man. I know him… The guy has been a very good man,” police spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi said.
Mr Adejobi said the recommendation for the officer’s suspension was in line with the internal disciplinary processes of the force.
The court, on Tuesday, sentenced Mr Baba to three months in prison for disobeying a court order.
