The seat of Lagos State Commissioner of Police becomes hot cake as CP Olushegun Odumosu and others lobby to take over from the outgoing CP, who has just been promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police.

Recall that the Police Service Commission just promoted some senior officers to their next rank in which the current Lagos CP, CP Muazu Zubaru and CP Iluyasu Alhmed of Kano state were beneficiary of the new promotion gallore.

Since the announcement of the said promotion, there have been speculations on who is to take over the leadership of Lagos state command from Zubaru. 

A reliable source, who does not want his name to be published, disclosed to our correspondent that the feud in appointing someone for the post is now the topic of discussion, as he stressed further that there is strong indication that the former Edo state Commissioner of Police,  CP Presidential Taskforce, Odumosu, who is currently on an assignment to clear the gridlock in Apapa wharf might be considered for the post.

Our source made us understand that the said Odumosu has the back up of the Lagos state cabals as they all want an indigene of Lagos to become the next CP of the state.

African Advocate also learnt that the seat is not being eyed by Odumosu only, but many other CPs across the country have been lobbying the IGP to take over the seat from Muazu.

However, it seems their efforts will end up in vain, because the Lagos state cabals are strongly behind Odumosu.

All matters will be unfolded at the ongoing conference holding at Victoria Island, organised for senior officers, as our source informed us that the former CP will be officially decorated with the rank of AIG and possibly the awaiting new Lagos might be unveiled to the public.
