Breaking: Buhari appoints Alkali as Acting IGP
President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed DIG Usman Alkali Baba as the acting Inspector General of Police (IGP).
According to the Minister of Police Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi the appointment of Alkali to replace Mohammed Adamu is with immediate effect.
Buhari had in early February extended the tenure of Mohammed Adamu as the IGP for three months. Dingyadi explained that Adamu’s tenure was extended because it was necessary to give room for the proper selection of a successor.
Addressing the State House Correspondents on Tuesday at the presidential villa, Abuja Dingyadi disclosed that Alkali has emerged as the successor of Adamu after two months and three days of his tenure elongation.
