Manpower shortage stalls railway police transfers

The Railway Police Command in Lagos is facing a manpower shortage that has stalled officers' approved transfers to the Ogun State police command. The affected officers, who have served at the Railway Command for several years, allege that their transfers have been delayed despite obtaining the necessary approvals from administrative authorities.

They claim the delay is due to a lack of replacements to sustain operations at the Railway command. The Commissioner of Police, CP Adekunle Lasisi, attributed the delay to manpower shortages and the failure of officers to report for their new assignments. Ogun State Police Command reaffirmed that transfers and redeployments within the Nigeria Police Force are governed by established administrative procedures and regulations.
