– The new inspector general of police has reportedly asked that his senior colleagues be removed

– Senior officers reportedly tried to reach the new police boss to no avail

– A source said the officers are among the best crops the country has

The content of a letter reportedly written by Ibrahim Idris, the new inspector general of police has been revealed.

According to This Day, the new police chief wrote a letter to the presidency on Friday, June 24 asking for the retirement of 30 senior officers.
Idris was appointed to replace Solomon Arase and shortly after he took over the apex office, six deputy inspectors general of police who served under Arase were slated to be retired.

The officers who are of the rank of assistant inspector general were penned down for retirement and the reason for this is because of the protocol of dealing with the new police chief who got the position even though he had a lot of senior officers.

It was reported that attempts by senior officers to meet him was abortive as they were blocked off.

A source said: “There is serious tension at the Police Headquarters in Abuja. We have heard that the new acting IG wants to retire both his seniors and course mates.

“On Friday, he wrote to the presidency, through the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, and it was approved and forwarded to the desk of the President for final approval.

“According to what Idris wrote, his reason why he asked for their retirement is that he cannot work with them. He said he wants to in all sense of the world take charge of the police.

“He said since he has been given the responsibility to provide security, it was imperative that these AIGs be removed because they might be a clog in his wheel of progress.

“With this move, there is a tendency to make 14 Commissioners of Police AIGs since the available and compulsory vacancy for AIGs is 26.

“Already before now, 12 AIGs were promoted. From the 12, they will take seven of them to become Deputy Inspector General (DIGs) of Police and then they will be forced to go to the CP rank to fill up the AIG rank of 26.

“We wonder why they are removing experienced hands that would have helped him steer the police to greater heights.

“These officers that will be retired, are the last set of senior policemen that were trained abroad, or have gone for short courses.

“I don’t know why we are wasting manpower. By removing these old hands, we will have to expend huge amount of money to train the new crop of AIGs and CPs.”

I guess everyone is seeking vengeance when given an office.

Which way Nigeria

Why waist so much man power in sacking them?
After million's spent on training them abroad

Somebody should please tell this Presidency that sacking seasoned workers and replacing them with fresh inexperienced hands is not the same thing as job creation.
