  1. IGP
Police boss, Mohammed Adamu officially retired this Monday and was supposed to have been replaced effective from Monday but for two days, the president who has the powers to do so was away in his hometown, Daura and the presidency revealed that a decision would be reached upon Buhari’s return to Abuja. The president returned on Tuesday and later decided to extend the IG’s tenure by three months “to give the IG time transition properly.” This move by President Buhari brought about conflicting views on social media. However, the Nigeria Police Act of 2020 fixes a four-year single term for the Inspector General, without an option for extension. According to the Act, section 7 (6):
‘The person appointed to the office of the Inspector General of Police shall hold office for four (4) years subject the provisions of clause 18 (8) of the bill.’

Some call me David. Others, Emerie. Others, (unfortunate fellows) Biggie. I like to think that I have sense and that is why I write too. Otherwise, I draw and paint and sing (in the bathroom) and love to make people laugh. I love to understand how things work and that’s why I love DIY videos and YouTube of course.
