IGP AdamuIntensive lobbying and pressure have been mounted on the presidency over who becomes the next Inspector General of Police (IGP). This is the following expectation that the current police boss, Mr. Mohammed Adamu’s tenure would elapse any time soon.
After the tenure of IGP Solomon Arase, the post has consistently gone to officers from the north. The IGP before Adamu was Ibrahim Idris, from Niger State; he was police boss for over three years. He handed over to Adamu, from Nassarawa State, whose tenure ends soon.

Pundits believe that Adamu lost grip of the internal security, which is his sole responsibility, and handed it over to the military.
