Constitutional lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to withdraw the extension of Inspector-General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu’s tenure.

The human rights lawyer noted that the President’s decision to retain Adamu in the position is illegal.

President Buhari on Thursday extended the tenure of Adamu for three months.

The Minister of Police Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi made this known while briefing State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Dingyadi said that Buhari’s decision to retain the IGP for another three months was to properly select the new helmsman.

But appearing on Channels Television on Thursday evening, Ozekhome said that in “the eye of the law, there is no Inspector-General of Police.

“What we have here is a retired Inspector-General of Police illegally occupying the office –

“Mr President sir, withdraw the appointment of Mr Adamu. Call your Police Council and appoint from one of the serving AIGs.

“In the eye of the law, Adamu is a retired police officer…you’re denying other members of the Nigeria Police Force who are aspiring to go up to become the Inspector-General.

“The President was wrong… it is illegal, unconstitutional, unconscionable, whimsical… Adamu has done his best for the country.”

Nonsense nigeria..how could they retire a man,that is due for retirement 9 years time.but,left a man that is due for retirement in office..pure wickedness.

This is just an Academic exercise.

Court will keep adjourning till the end of the 3 month extension. After then, no one seeks compensation or impeachment. There aee too much powers with the president and PMB is not shying away from using it.

If PMB wakes up today and by any means call me Billionaire. Within 24 hours am there already.

Ozekhome should take water, calm down and face other things.

It isn't worth the blind bullet.
