THE Minister of Police Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi, on Tuesday said nothing could be done on the decision of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to appoint an acting Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, despite a three-month extension he had earlier granted Mohammed Adamu.
The minister said this while announcing Baba’s appointment to State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari had appointed Baba, a Deputy Inspector-General of Police, as the acting IGP with immediate effect.
When asked why the President did not allow the outgoing IGP to last the three months of extension, the minister said, “Mr President is aware of this and you cannot take away that responsibility from him; he’s the one who is in charge of appointing or extending tenures.

By Ibrahim HassanWuyo
National President of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Alhaji Shettima Yerima has admonished the governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu, to rescind the quit order he earlier gave the Fulani residing in his state and compensate those who fell victim of the attack on Fulani communities in the southwest state.
Yerima said in Kaduna on Sunday that the quit notice order by the Governor of Ondo State Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN and subsequent attack and destruction of property in Oyo were not only worrisome but disturbing.
“Let it be known that the constitution of Nigeria guarantees every Nigerian to live in any part of this country and free to engage in any legitimate business of his or her choice, the Governor of Ondo State being a learned person is expected to know better.
