President Muhammadu Buhari has extended the tenure of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, by three months.
This was disclosed on Thursday by the Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammad Dingyadi, while briefing State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to Dingyadi, the extension was necessary to give room for the proper selection of a successor.
Recall that Adamu was due to retire from the police force last Monday having spent the maximum 35 years in service.
