Four-year tenure legal, police debunk IG’s ‘sack’

The Nigeria Police Force has said the alleged judgement ordering the removal of the incumbent Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali-Baba, from office over retirement age is false.

The Force Headquarters made the revelation known on Monday, while affirming the continued stay of Mr Alkali-Baba in office as IG, in an official correspondence obtained by journalists, which was signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.

The NPF further advised citizens and residents to ignore what it referred to as “false news making the rounds on social media,” while noting that maintaining the four-year period for individuals appointed as IG is being institutionalised by the provisions of the law, rather than on personal grounds to favour an individual.
