A lawyer has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to order the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to stop parading himself as the IGP after attaining the mandatory 35 years in service.
The Abuja-based lawyer, Maxwell Okpara, on Wednesday, approached the court, asking it to declare as illegal, all actions Adamu took as head of the Nigerian Police Force after February 1, 2021.
