IDRIS FINALLY LEAVES AS ADAMU REPLACES AS THE NEW IGP
The mood at the Force Headquarters was calm
when the news of the replacement filtered in. It was also gathered that the
outgoing IGP had been quietly removing his personal effects from the office
since last Friday.
There are indications at the Force
Headqaurters in Abuja that a new Inspector General of Police (IGP), AIG
Abubakar Adamu Mohammed (pictured right, with Governor Serikae Dickson) from
Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, has been appointed to replace Ibrahim Idris,
who is scheduled to retire from office.
Adamu was AIG in charge of Zone 5 Benin
before he was sent to the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies
(NIPSS), Kuru in Plateau State.
He was said to have been sent on the
compulsory course on the suspicion that he was pencilled down by the presidency
to succeed the outgoing IGP.
Many Nigerians have kicked the against an
alleged move by President Muhammadu Buhari to extend the tenure of the outgoing
IGP, basing their allegations on the notion that there are plans to use Idris's
influence to manipulate the presidential election scheduled for February 2019.
Sahara Reporters gathered that Idris had made
frantic efforts to get his tenure extended but was unsuccessful. Also, pressure
mounted by the opposition parties contibuted to the President's eventual
decision to rescind the original extension plan.
The mood at the Force Headquarters was calm
