The controversial Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, Mr Joseph Mbundu has been removed and reassigned to Abuja by the Police Service Commission (PSC) with immediate effect.
The PSC in a statement named Mr. Johnson Tunde Ogunshakin of the Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi, Lagos as the new Police Commissioner for Rivers, while Mbu is now Police Commissioner in charge of the FCT.
Mbu has been at loggerheads with the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi and supporters of the APC following the struggle for the control of political in the State between the Presidency and Amaechi.
It will be recalled that the controversial Police Commissioner had severally been accused of bias against political parties other than the ruling Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) as on several occasions allowed PDP sympathisers to hold rallies while denying opposition parties same privilege.
This has prompted calls from several quarters for the removal of Mbu as he has become a political police commissioner instead of being apolitical as a public officer.
At a point,Mbu withdrew policemen from providing security for the State Governor,Rotimi Amaechi.
