The new acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has said he will adopt a fresh strategy to tackle the insecurity challenges facing Nigeria.

The new police chief said this Tuesday while speaking with State House correspondents after he was decorated with his new rank by President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

Mr Adamu, who thanked Mr Buhari for appointing him, said he knew that there were security challenges to be tackled in the country.

”Issues of kidnapping, abduction and other security challenges. From the strategies put in place by the former IGP, we will restrategise and make sure that we tackle these challenges squarely,” he said.

Mr Adamu also spoke about the forthcoming general elections and said adequate arrangements have already been made by his predecessor to make sure that free and fair and credible elections take place in Nigeria.

”We are going to build upon the strategies put in place to make sure that we have hitch-free elections in the country,” he said.

The new IG also assured political parties participating in the election that as professionals, the police “are going to stick by the rules, we are going to do the right thing”.

”We will not go outside the ethics of our job to do things that are untoward. Everybody will be given level-playing ground to play his or her politics, ” he said.

The former IG, Ibrahim Idris, who also spoke briefly, advised his successor to go round the whole country and “adopt measures to ensure that the Nigerian Police Force give maximum protection to lives and property”.

The new chief, Mr Adamu, hails from Lafia, Nasarawa State, and holds a bachelors in Geography.

He enlisted into the police on February 1, 1986, as a Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police.

He attended senior officer courses on law enforcement, crime prevention, control and management within and outside Nigeria.

Before his appointment Tuesday, he was a directing staff at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos, Plateau State.

He was also a commissioner of police in Ekiti and Enugu States and also Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 5 Police Command Headquarters, Benin, Edo State.

Initial Gragra of Police - IGP

Though Buhari appointed you based on his trademark nepotism and biasness, please endeavour to serve Nigeria acceptably and worthly.

See transmission advising his successor to go round the country and challenge insecurities.

When Bubu said you should go to Benue, you no run back enter Abuja?

He doesn't look stuck up and evil like that useless animal called Ibrahim Idris, who is the worst IGP in Nigeria's history.. And karma would descend on him very shortly. I wish him a very sorrowful retirement.

I will give the new IGP the benefit of the doubt because he simply can't be worse than his bastard predecessor. He can only be better.

New IGP, Oga Lafia, your first task should be to immediately relieve that incompetent and repugnant pig called Jimoh Moshood of the post of Force Spokesman. He is the worst Force Spokesman in the history of the NPF, and I wish he could be dismissed from the police force altogether. In his place, appoint someone that is more sensible, who possesses more finesse and professionalism.

So far na ABoki still dey there.....we still expect the same result

Does that mean police will stop sending men to die in Borno?

I saw police stop a boy from bus yesterday to search him and they let the bus go.

Is police duty now searching of phones like it contains bomb ?

This happened in Benin.

Very soon he will start to be speaking transmission sorry transmitter transfusion

His allegiance should be to the people of Nigeria first before the President, unfortunately it is the other way round.

The look on Idris face na die ooooo. So na this boy go take election allowance wey i prepare.

No new thing in mind just building on whatever his predecessor has put in place, all the killings, insecurity, nonesensetical attitudes of police, rigging of elections by police, and what have you, don't worry Nigerians he will build on them

Very positive sign that he doesn't have a pot belly

Mr transmisson the politican police will be like ' "FRESH STRAGEDY" so the one he met was rotten abi? '

...same spoken or written first communication, but in the end nothing happens...status quo just remains the same...wishing the Ag New IGP a good tenure...

Good posture Sir, GOD BLESS YOUR GOING OUT AND COMING IN. THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE NEEDED JEHOVAH WILL GIVE TO YOU, THE SECURITY OF THE NATION THAT HAS BEING ENTRUSTED INTO YOUR HANDS, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL GIVE YOU MERCY, GRACE, BLESSING, FAVOUR, PROTECTION, PROVISION, AND ABUNDANCE OF GRACE TO CARRY THE GOOD WORK. OUR COUNTRY WILL EXPERIENCE GOOD THING IN YOUR REIGN AND THOSE THAT ARE TO COME BEHIND, REMAIN BLESSED ALONGSIDE WITH THE INHABITANTS OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS AMEN.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA
GOD BLESS NIGERIA
GOD BLESS NIGERIA

.All Pigs! Maintain/behave pls

The new IG also assured political parties participating in the election that as professionals, the police “are going to stick by the rules, we are going to do the right thing”.

I hope he really mean these words! But I doubt, the Nigerian police is sunk in heavy corruption, nepotism and thievery!

As Nigerians we shall wait and see as things unfold in the coming weeks.
