President Muhammadu Buhari has extended the tenure of Mohammed Adamu as Inspector General of Police (IGP) by three months.
Adamu was appointed by President Buhari January 15, 2019 replacing Ibrahim Kpotun Idris (rtd) of Niger State.
He was expected to have handed over to the most senior officer at the close of work on Monday after completion of his 35-year service in the force.
Mohammad Dingyadi, minister of police affairs, has now announced the extension of tenure to state house correspondents on Thursday at the presidential villa, Abuja.
He said Buhari’s decision to extend the IGP’s tenure for another three months is to properly select the new helmsman.
More details to come.
