The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu, will continue his duty as the nation’s police chief despite the completion of his tenure.
This is as President Muhammdu Buhari has approved the extension of the tenure of the police boss by three months.
The Minister of Police Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi made this known while briefing State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Dingyadi said Buhari’s decision to extend the IGP’s tenure for another three months was to properly select the new helmsman.
Adamu, whose tenure as the Inspector-General of Police elapsed on Monday, held the position for two years.
He was first appointed as the police boss in an acting capacity on January 15, 2019, succeeding former Inspector-General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris.
