The erstwhile Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has formally handed over to the newly appointed Acting Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba.

The handing over, which is currently holding at the IGP’s conference room at Louis Edet House, Abuja, has top serving officers in attendance.

Daily Trust reports that Usman Baba had earlier been decorated by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Baba was announced on Tuesday to replace Adamu in acting capacity following the recent attacks in the country particularly in the SouthEast.

Meanwhile, mixed reactions have continued to trail the appointment of the Acting IGP.

Some police officers, who spoke to Daily Trust, said although they have nothing against the acting IGP, a substantive DIG should have been appointed for the position.

”Our new Acting IG was formerly Acting DIG, I expect that a substantive DIG would have been appointed as his replacement.

”I don’t have anything against the duo and I don’t know any law that goes against the recent appointment but I just feel that some things are not done correctly,” one of the police officers told Daily Trust in confidence.

Another policeman said officers of the force are praying fervently for the Acting IGP to find a lasting solution to the current attacks on police officers and the formations.

IGP usman should immediately do the needful to stern the tide of insecurity in the south east!

strategies

Ethno-Religious Bigotry aside. Have things improved or deteriorated since we took over in 2015?

A bag of rice that was being sold for N7500 is now N18000 or more.

A Kilogram of meat being sold for N800 is now N1800.

A bag of Satchet Water he met at N50 is now N140.

A Litre of Petrol we use to angrily buy for N87 is now N165.

A bottle of Groundnut Oil was N250, it now sells for N430 or more.

This was not the change I campaigned and voted for.

This Administration has failed woefully.

If he leaves while Nigeria is this bad. He will go down in History as the Worst President ever in the History of this Nation.

No amount of Ethno-Religious bias will change this fact.

No disquiet....just that they preferred someone else.

He is already substantive DIG....and had only one Senior.

Usman or whatever it is called should relocate to SE and lead from the front as expected of him.

He has to stem the tide of violence by unraveling the UGM.

That 7500 for rice was for foreign rice. Foreign rice now range from 25-30k. A bag of sachet water in Benin City is now #200 while #20 per 1 sachet.
A litre of fuel sells in the range of #165-180 Benin City. It was #220 per litre last month.
