Buhari Orders IG Adamu To Hand Over

• Buhari Orders for immediate handover upon return from his trip
• AIG Zanna Ibrahim might be appointed IGP

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday night reportedly asked the Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Adamu to hand over.

This is coming after Adamu completed his 35 years of service on Monday.

Ekohotblog understands that he was expected to have handed over to the most senior officer at the close of work on Monday, however, but he did not. This fueled the feeling that he might be granted an extension.

Tuesday, Adamu was at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport to receive President Buhari who returned to Abuja after a four-day trip to his hometown Daura.

It was learnt that the IG was told of his fate after President Buhari’s arrival.

According to TheNation, a top source said: “The IGP has been asked by the President to handover.

“Adamu was waiting for the presidential directive. He would have left on Monday but it will be discourteous to have exited without a clear-cut directive from the President and Commander-In-Chief.

“He may likely handover to the most senior deputy inspector-general of Police. I am aware Adamu was yesterday putting finishing touches to his handover note.”

There were speculations on Tuesday that AIG Zanna Ibrahim might be appointed IGP.

In his reaction, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina, simply said: “I don’t have any information yet on that (new IGP).”
