If current reports are anything to go by,
then the federal government will announce
a replacement for the retiring Inspector
General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris. The
proposed new police boss has been
identified as Abubakar Adamu Mohammed.
Premium Times reports that its finding
is based on interaction with top police
chiefs as well as presidency sources.
It quoted a senior officer as saying late
Monday, January 14, that: “We have a
new police IG. Ibrahim Idris has gone
home to move his things from the official
quarters and we are now waiting for a
formal handing over.â€
The report said presidency sources also
confirmed the development in separate
exchanges.
Mohammed, born on November 9, 1961,
is from Nasarawa state and an assistant
inspector-general of police.
He joined the Nigeria Police Force (NPF)
in 1986 and was once a director of
peacekeeping operations.
A former police commissioner in Enugu,
Mohammed was an AIG in charge Zone
5 and is currently a directing staff
member at the National Institute of
policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, near
Jos, Plateau state.
The report said his appointment would
cause the retirement of some police
chiefs just like it happened during the
appointment of Idris.
