The Commissioner of Police in Bayelsa State, CP Tolani Alausa, has been redeployed in response to increasing pressure from the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun. This decision comes in the wake of recent rallies in Yenagoa, the state capital, when demonstrators expressed their dissatisfaction with claimed prejudice and questionable activities in the run-up to a recent election.<\/p>\n
