PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has extended the tenure of the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, by three months.
The Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi, disclosed this to State House Correspondents after a meeting with the President on Thursday.
He said the decision to extend the IGP’s tenure was to pave the way for proper selection of a successor.
The President had, on January 15, 2019, appointed Adamu as acting IGP, following the retirement of IGP Ibrahim Idris.
His appointment, which was ratified in May, terminated last Monday, as he attained the mandatory retirement age.
