IGP Adamu, Lamorde, Others Set To Retire Today

Following spending a maximum number of years in service, Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, and many other top officials of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) will retire today, Monday.

The IGP, who joined the service on February 1, 1986, will attain the mandatory 35 years in service. Adamu took over from Ibrahim Idris who retired in January 2019.

Aside from the IGP, three Deputy Inspectors-General (DIGs) and 10 Assistant Inspectors-General (AIGs) are also due to retire from the police.

The DIGs are former EFCC boss Ibrahim Lamorde, Aminchi Baraya and Nkpa Inakwu.

The AIGs are Nkereuwem Akpan, Olafimihan Adeoye, Agunbiade Labore, Undie Adie and Olugbenga Adeyanju.

Others are Asuquo Amba, Mohammad Mustapha, Jonah Jackson, Olushola Babajide and Yunana Babas.

The amended Police Act, signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari recently, pegs the retirement age of police officers at 60 years of age or 35 years of service.

By precedence and practice, a replacement for the IGP ought to have been announced few days before his retirement. Hence, this has raised the opinion that the IGP might get tenure elongation, just like the immediate past military chiefs.
