President Buhari has named a new Inspector General of Police.
AIG Adamu Lafia from Nasarawa State has emerged as the new IG and will replace Idris Ibrahim.
Mohammed, a former commissioner of police in Enugu state before his appointment, was serving at the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, near Jos.
Acting IGP Mohammed was “transferred out of relevance”.
Mohammed was a deputy commissioner of police in Ekiti state and had served at the Interpol before he rose to the rank of assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG).
His appointment will douse the tension surrounding the tenure elongation of Ibrahim Idris, outgoing IGP.
There had been reports on the plots to extend Idris’ tenure but opposition parties kicked against it.
Idris will retire on January 15 after reaching 60 years as he was born on January 15, 1959 and after completing the mandatory 35 years in service.
