President Muhammadu Buhari has extended the tenure of Mr Mohammed Adamu as Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police (IGP) by three months.
Adamu was due to retire from the police last Monday having spent the maximum 35 years in service.
The Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi, announced this on Thursday while briefing reporters at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Mr Dingyadi said the extension was necessary to give room for the proper selection of a successor.
