President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly asked Inspector
General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Adamu to hand over, according to the Nation.
The Nasarawa-born Adamu, who was appointed on January 15,
2019, completed his 35 years service on Monday.
Adamu, the 20th Inspector-General of Police, was expected to
have handed over to the most senior officer at the close of work on Monday.
However, there are insinuations that Buhari may extend his
service as he did with the service chiefs before they were finally dismissed
last week.
The retiring Adamu was at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport to
receive President Buhari who returned from his hometown, Daura, Katsina State
after a four-day trip.
The Nation reports that Adamu was told of his fate after
Buhari’s arrival, quoting a top source at the presidency.
“The IGP has been asked by the President to handover,” the
source said.
“Adamu was waiting for the presidential directive. He would
have left on Monday but it will be discourteous to have exited without a
clear-cut directive from the President and Commander-In-Chief.
“He may likely hand over to the most senior deputy
inspector-general of Police. I am aware Adamu was yesterday putting finishing
touches to his handover note.”
There were speculations on social media last night that AIG
Zanna Ibrahim might be appointed the new Inspector General of Police.
