The robbery that took place recently at five banks in Offa, Kwara State, has claimed another casualty, as the police chief in charge of the state, Mr Ado Lawan, has been redeployed with immediate effect.
According to Global Excellence a new CP, Mr. Aminu Sale Pai has been moved from Police College, Kaduna, to replace Lawan, and Sale, we heard, has since taken charge.
Initially, another police officer, Celestine Okoye, was penciled to replace Law an but the Police Service Commission failed to ratify his appointment.
The reason behind Lawan’s removal was not immediately known to this magazine, but a reliable source said that it might be related to investigations still ongoing over the bank heist which has left the city of Offa in paralyzing mood since the last two weeks.
