There is uncertainty over what happens at the Louis Edet House, Headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) as the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu is due for retirement on Monday, 1st February.
EKO HOT BLOG gathered there is frenzy and heightened intrigues within the police high command and corridors of power in Abuja over who will take the next mantle of leadership.
Adamu, a member of the ASP Cadet Course 14, is due to retire on account of service years as he clocks 35 years in service on Monday, having enlisted in the Police Force on February 1, 1986.
Hours to Adamu’s statutory retirement day, the President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to announce a new inspector general of police or extend the tenure of Adamu.
By law, the police chief is appointed by the president on the “advice” of the Police Council.
The Council is chaired by the president and has the 36 state governors, Chairman of the Police Service Commission and the IGP as members.
The Police Act, signed by President Muhammadu Buhari last year, pegs the retirement age of police officers at 60 years of age or 35 years of service.
