President Muhammadu Buhari has extended the tenure of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu for three months.

The Minister of Police Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi, disclosed this on Thursday while briefing State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said that the decision of the President to extend the IGP’s tenure for another three months was to give time for proper selection of the new helmsman.

This, however, would be contrary to the provisions of the Police Act 2020, which in Section 7 (6) fixes a single term of four years without an option of extension of tenure for the holder of the office of the Inspector-General of Police.

“A person appointed to the office of the Inspector-General of Police shall hold office for four years,” it read.

Section 18 ( of the Act signed by the President on September 15, 2020 also read, “Every police officer shall, on recruitment or appointment, serve in the police force for 35 years or until he attains the age of 60 years, whichever is earlier.

Just like Winston Churchill once said, sacking Generals during war is always counter productive

It's like sacking your driver in the middle of 3rd mainland bridge

Nigerian insecurity is hot right now, change of IGP can wait

Doubleoh7:

That's how you people bring up any kind of logic to justify stupidity. Enact a law, disregard the same law and act as if the rest of us are all stupid

I imploy you to read the Police Service ACT, Civil Service ACT, and Armed Forces ACT,. In situations like this The CinC has the right to extend the service of anyone

bishop4life:






God why?

why do you have to create such being as this ?

Why ?

I believe an adult human with fully developed brain should research on a subject and be willing to offer stronger arguement instead of insults

don't disguise in fooling yourself, Sack or retirement of Adamu won't lead to Ibo IGP

What would happen after the sack;

*DIG who are coarse mate of Adamu or his Senior in the Position of DIG ,AIG to CP automatically gets retired

*Many Zonal command especially the ones in Fulani Herdsmen hot zone becomes instantly headless and leaderless


..

More time to Install a fanatic one



South Nigeria ........ Confederation

Wonder shall not end

Buhari is not a Democrat

The Man is a serial law breaker

Only a cow supports this evil administration

No criminal break law pass BaBa

He makes and break laws at will

Disobeying Court rulings is one of the Legacies he will pass down to the coming govt (because either we like it or not APC will still win)

In all things remember to enjoy your change

it's only God that will deliver this country from bad government... rubbish

The excuse holds no water.
They knew over 6 months ago, that he will retire in February.
They should have started searching for the replacement then.
I've come to realise that we are own problems in Nigeria..
For every stoopid decision by government, there must be some gullible fellows that will defend it.

Buhari himself is a total violation of the office bid the president..The is not fit to be there

Adamu is a gallant officer

Buhari has committed many impeachable offenses, but he's lucky that a Nigerian president cannot be impeached. Doing so can set the unstable country on fire.

We will keep managing the oldie till 2023. If we could survive a Buhari bereft of ideas for 6 years, we won't die in 2 years.

So what happened to preparation since 3months ago?........ Didn't they know he would be retiring by jan ending.....

I hate Nonsense!.... Lass lass, na northerner go still take d post
