Olorundare Jimoh Elevated to AIG, Takes Charge of Zone 2 Police Command Covering Lagos and Ogun

In a significant development within the leadership structure of the Nigeria Police Force, the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Olorundare Jimoh, has been elevated to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) and posted to the Zone 2 Police Command Headquarters, where he will oversee policing activities across Lagos and Ogun State.

In a turn of events, the immediate past Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Olorundare Jimoh, has been promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) and deployed to head the Zone 2 Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force.

The Zone 2 Police Headquarters, located in Onikan, is responsible for coordinating policing operations and providing strategic oversight for commands in Lagos State and Ogun State.

Jimoh’s elevation is seen as part of ongoing efforts by the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force to strengthen security architecture and enhance operational efficiency across key commands in the country.

During his tenure as Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Jimoh was actively involved in coordinating security operations across the state, working with other security agencies to address crime, maintain public order, and improve response to emerging security challenges in Nigeria’s commercial capital.

His new role as AIG places him in charge of supervising the Commissioners of Police in both Lagos and Ogun states, while also providing strategic direction for policing policies and operations within the zone.

Security stakeholders have expressed optimism that his experience and familiarity with the security dynamics of Lagos and the surrounding region will contribute to improved coordination and effectiveness in tackling crime across the two states.

Further details regarding his successor as Commissioner of Police in Lagos State are expected to be announced by the authorities of the Nigeria Police Force.
