Police officer slumps in Anambra over transfer to Borno

A policeman attached to the Central Police Station, Nnewi in the Anambra State Police Command, has reportedly slumped following a directive from the Office of the Inspector General of Police posting him to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.

It was gathered that the officer, an ASP who is of South-east extraction, has less than a year left to retire from the service. He is among the 149 officers affected by the postings to different parts of the country.
Borno State is the epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency, which has led to the death of over 12,000 Nigerians. About two months ago, the terror sect abducted over 200 schoolgirls from a secondary school in Chibok, Borno State.
The officer, however, was said to have been revived by doctors and other medical personnel at a private hospital in Nnewi where he was rushed to after he slumped.
It was gathered that the letter of transfer signed by Dan Azumi Job, an Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, indicated that officers within the ranks of ASP and Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) were affected in the mass transfer.
