Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu
Ekiti State Attorney General and Justice Commissioner Olawale Fapohunda has filed a suit against Inspector General of Police (GP) Muhammed Adamu at the Federal High Court in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, over the sack of a pregnant unmarried female corporal, Olajide Omolola.
The policewoman attached to the Iye-Ekiti Police Station in Ilejemeje, joined the service in May 2020 and was dismissed by the police for getting pregnant less than a year after graduating from the Police Academy.
Fapohunda is seeking a court order to declare as unconstitutional Section 127 of the Police Act and Regulations, which provides for the discharge from the Police Force, policewomen who become pregnant while unmarried.
Days after the formation of the ESN the panicked federal security forces reportedly began combing the entire south-east forests by air to be able to locate where the Kanu 'army' were lodged with an 'order from above' for them to be dislodged or neutralized.

A coalition of anti-corruption groups in the country, the Global Alliance against Graft GAG has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to allow Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu to serve out his term as Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps NSCDC.
The coalition in a statement jointly signed by its President, Favour Oguntuase and Secretary, Gabriel Ndubuisi faulted the reported handing over of affairs by Gana to his second in command.
“It is a well known principle that he who has the power to hire can also fire. The Commandant General of the NSCDC is appointed by Mr President and not the Minister of Interior.
