By • Olalekan Fagbade JUST IN: IGP urges newly promoted officers to justify new ranks   The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, has urged the 224 recently promoted officers of the police command in Ondo State to demonstrate their worthiness of the new ranks. The officers were officially decorated during a ceremony held in Akure, the state capital, at the weekend. Egbetokun, represented by Assistant Inspector General, AIG Ebong Ebong of Zone 17, which encompasses Ondo and Ekiti States, welcomed the newly promoted Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASP) to their elevated positions. During his address, Egbetokun emphasised the importance of the officers proving themselves deserving of their new designations. Out of the 224 officers, 73 had already been confirmed in their new ranks, while the confirmation process for the remaining officers is still pending, according to the IG. The IG stressed the concept of responsibility, stating that with their promotion comes a heightened level of expectations. He urged the officers to exhibit professionalism, civility, and fairness in the execution of their duties. “From today, know what to say, where you go and what to do. You will be a mirror to junior ones. Psychologically and socially, you have to change even morally. “I beg you, as an ASP, remember your family and carry them along due to the economic situation in Nigeria,” he said. Similarly, Commissioner of Police, Ondo State, Taiwo Jesubiyi, retired from the police force after 33 years of service. Gabriel Ariyo, Police Community Relation Committee, PCRC, Chairman, Ondo State, who bid the CP farewell and described him as a highly reliable and responsible friend, prayed for God to be with him. #IGP #newrank #Policecommand

The King of Iceland

Jørgen Jürgensen later Jorgen Jorgenson (1780-1841), adventurer, was born on 7 April 1780 at Copenhagen, Denmark, the second son of Jorgen Jorgensen, royal watchmaker, and his wife Anna Lette, née Bruun. He changed his patronymic to Jorgenson in 1817.

Jorgen Jorgenson (1780-1841)

Jorgenson's formal education stopped at 14. At 15 he was apprenticed to Captain Henry Marwood of the English collier Jane, and served in her four years between Newcastle and Baltic ports. By his own statement, he then served on various vessels, including a British man-of-war into which he had been press-ganged. In 1801 he was aboard the Harbinger at Port Jackson, where he soon joined H.M.S. Lady Nelson as John Johnson. As he was not discharged from her until April 1804, he probably sailed with Matthew Flinders in 1802, witnessed the disbandment of the first settlement at Port Phillip, and certainly was present at the first settlement on the Derwent in Van Diemen's Land. His own testimony has generated the legend that he was first to harpoon a whale in the Derwent. For months in 1804 he was sealing in New Zealand waters and whaling in the Alexander. He left Australian waters in her in February 1805 and by way of New Zealand, Tahiti, Cape Horn and St Helena arrived at Gravesend in June 1806.

After some months of London pleasures he returned to Copenhagen. In fact, he arrived home just in time to bear witness to the bombardment of Copenhagen by ships of the Royal Navy. The assault destroyed a third of the city and killed nearly 5,000 people. The two-week campaign sprung from the Danes’ reluctance to turn its navy over to the British, lest it fall into Napoleon’s hands. By Sept. 5, 1807, 50 English warships pounded the capital into submission, after which the combined Danish-Norwegian fleet, which included 18 ships of the line and 16 frigates, was reluctantly turned over to King George. Following the action, Jorgenson sought revenge against his adopted homeland.

The bombardment of Copenhagen 1807

During the Anglo-Danish war Jorgenson commanded the privateer Admiral Juul cause of his extensive experience at sea and took three prizes before striking his flag to H.M.S. Sappho in March 1808.

As a "prisoner of war on honour" he was arrested in London, where he made acquaintance with the merchant Phelps, who was interested in the Icelandic trade during those war days. At that time the Royal Danish Trade Monopoly ruled over Iceland, and the Danish fleet was defeated, so it could not maintain this trade.

Jørgensen sailed twice to Iceland on British ships in 1809. The first time on a merchant ship as an interpreter and the second time on a frigate which Phelps had equipped and which was provided with a letter of marque. The Danish governor of Iceland, Count Trampe, banned trade with Great Britain as early as 13 June. One day after the arrival of the frigate in Reykjavík on 25 June, Count Trampe was arrested by the crew of the ship.With Phelps' support, Jørgen Jørgensen proclaimed Iceland's independence from the Kingdom of Denmark and the rule of the people on the same day, i.e. 26 June 1809, and declared himself a protector.

HMS 'Sappho' Capturing the Danish Brig 'Admiral Jawl', 2 March 1808

All Danish officials and sales representatives were placed under house arrest. The camps of the monopoly trade were confiscated as well as the treasury.Jørgen Jørgensen settled in the governor's seat, but avoided any form of personal enrichment. He built a fortress, gave Iceland a flag of its own, and surrounded himself with a six-man bodyguard of locals, whose boss he appointed the then 25-year-old Jón Guðmundsson Effersøe. This bodyguard undertook various expeditions and arrested, for example, the chief judge of the country, Ísleif Einarsson.

On 12 July, Jørgensen even declared himself the provisional autocrat of Iceland and announced the recall of Althing (National Assembly), which had just been abolished by the Danish Crown.He thus contradicted the absolutist attitude of the Danish king. The Icelandic population was rather wait-and-see, especially since it was suspected that Jørgensen was acting on behalf of the British state.

Added to this was Iceland's relative defencelessness.In the Dansk Biografisk Leksikon of 1895 it says judgmental:    "In addition to his eccentric character, Jørgensen's own appearance is explained by the fact that he obviously felt like a naturalized Englishman even then, without any trace of sympathy for his native country” .

But this curious episode in Iceland's history lasted only two months. On 26 August the HMS Talbot arrived and Jørgensen's "reign" came to an abrupt end. The captain harshly rebuked Phelps. All Jørgensen's proclamations were cancelled, and the self-proclaimed "King" was arrested to go to prison in England. Two high-ranking Icelandic officials took over state power, while Count Trampe went to England to testify.The Icelanders from Jørgen Jørgensen's bodyguard remained unpunished, but Jón Guðmundsson Effersøe, for example, emigrated to the Faroe Islands.

"The reason for Jón Guðmundsson's emigration from Iceland to the Faroe Islands is unknown, but although he and the other bodyguards were spared prison, there may have been a supreme judge who wanted revenge!

- Don Brandt: Stamps tell the story of the Faroe Islands

On the journey to England suddenly fire broke out on the ship. According to witnesses, Phelps and Jørgensen saved the lives of the crew with intrepid courage. They were the captain's guests of honour until their arrival in London. After his arrival in London,  Jørgensen spent a year in prison because he had left the country despite his word of honour (see above). In prison he began to play and succumbed more and more to gambling addiction.Back in freedom, he lived an unsteady life and later had to serve two years in prison for unpaid gambling debts. 1815-17 Jürgensen was in the service of the British government in France and Germany, visited Waterloo, Frankfurt, Weimar, Dresden, Berlin and Potsdam (Sanssouci) according to his own report. When he returned to London, he continued his wild lifestyle and was finally sentenced to another prison term for fraud.

A later sentence then imposed deportation for life. In 1825 he was banished to Tasmania. In Tasmania he changed his name to Jorgen Jorgenson. He was soon released from prison conditions and undertook many voyages of discovery and research in the interior of the island. He described the indigenous population for the first time. He became a productive and successful author about his adventurous life.

His books were popular in Australia and England, and his unprinted manuscripts were accepted into the British Museum. As an author, he wrote in English under the name Jorgenson. He wrote travelogues, theological and economic treatises, newspaper articles and autobiographical notes. He finally got married in 1833. In 1835 he was appointed "policecommand".Jorgen Jorgenson was found dead in Hobart on 20 January 1841 at the age of 60 (older sources say 1845 or 1850). He died as a free man. He was buried in the Catholic cemetery.
