Shake-up at BNI

The Daily Graphic reports a major shake-up that has been undertaken in the command structure of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) as part of a reorganisation exercise.

"All regional and divisional commanders have been transferred to other regions and divisions," and have been given two weeks to report to their new stations. Twenty-two senior officers of the BNI, including the deputy director, have also been asked to proceed on their earned leave and would be reassigned or relocated after that. Some of the commanders would lose their command positions while others would be elevated.

A highly-placed source, which confirmed the changes, said as part of the reorganisation exercise, some units of the BNI are also to be reorganised to ensure effective and efficient service delivery.
