Interestingly, it was reported that there was a mild drama in Kogi State on  Thursday, March 29,2018 at the State Command of the Nigeria Police headquarters, Lokoja, when the incoming Commissioner of Police, Esa Sunday Ogbu, was not available for handover.

We learnt that the outgoing CP, Ali Jaga came to the office in company of AIG of Police Zone 8, expecting to see the new CP but to no avail.  This is not unconnected to the report that the new CP had earlier been threatened a day to his resumption.

The Kogi Governor, Bello, reportedly told him to leave the state.

The new CP, as a result of the intimidation, left for Abuja Thursday morning.

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim K. Idris, had ordered the immediate removal of Kogi State Commissioner of Police, CP Ali Janga over questionable circumstances that led to escape of two key suspects in a matter involving Senator Dino Melaye.

The new CP, Ogbu was Commissioner of Police, Federal Operations, Force Headquarters, Abuja before his posting to Kogi State.
