President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed the Deputy Inspector General of Police, DIG, Usman Alkali Baba as acting Inspector General of Police (IGP).

The minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi disclosed this Tuesday at the presidential villa, Abuja today.

You will recall that,
President Muhammadu Buhari and the attorney-general of the federation, Abubakar Malami, had earlier said, the law permits the present inspector-general of police IGP Mohammed Adamu, to remain in office until either 2023 or 2024.

Adamu, who was appointed in 2019, clocked the mandatory 35 years of service on February 1, and was expected to have been replaced by the president.

But, on February 4, President Muhammadu Buhari extended Adamu’s tenure by three months.
