Enugu Police commissioner, the first casuaty of the aftermath of the Enugu massacre by the Fulani herdsmen

According to Vanguard, the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase has ordered the redeployment of the Enugu State Police Commissioner, CP Nwodibo Ekechukwu to the Eastern Port Police Command.

A new Commissioner of Police has subsequently been appointed for Enugu state, he is CP Emmanuel Ojukwu

Vanguard gathered that the redeployment may not be unconnected with the disclosure by the Enugu State governor,Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi , that he had intelligence information that the herdsmen would strike in the community and passed the information to the security agencies.

When contacted, Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olabisi Kolawole confirmed the redeployment of the officer by Force headquarters
