The commissioner served in formations and on secondment at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, among others

In another report, a land tussle case has instigated an aggrieved land owner from Enugu State, Mrs Amaka Ezeonu, to take her case to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) while citing alleged bias which had been exhibited by a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) handling a land tussle.

In a petition which she had petitioned to be addressed to the IGP by her lawyers, Mohammed Usman and Co Chambers, Mrs Ezeonu said though the said case had been transferred to the office of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations, the DCP was still allegedly interfering in the case.
