“Reporters have been calling me to find out the major reason for the removal. They asked if they were removed because they were involved in some sharp practices.

“All I can say for now is that, it is a regular routine for the NIS to deploy its officers. There is nothing bad in redeployment. As other events unfold, the service will update Nigerians,” she said.
