President Buhari receives and Decorates New Inspector General of Police.

The Presidency has received and decorated the newly appointed Inspector General of Police, Mr Abubakar Adamu Mohammed, in the State House on 15th Jan 2019. 

Adamu has been seen to be young and fit for the position. And he is expected to remove the bad eggs in the Nigerian Police.



It was evidently reported that the former Police boss, Ibrahim Idris, has retired on the basis of his age.

Outgoing Inspector-General Ibrahim Idris met with the president at the State House on Monday afternoon, a visit police sources said has become a tradition for outgoing inspectors-general in recent years.

“We have a new police IG,” a senior officer said on Monday night. “Ibrahim Idris has gone home to move his things from the official quarters and we are now waiting for a formal handing over.”

The source spoke under anonymity to avoid being castigated as disclosing crucial information before formal announcement.


Mr Idris’ controversial tenure was capped with widespread insinuations that he might remain in office beyond the period permitted by Nigerian laws.

Critics had accused Mr Buhari of scheming to retain him for the 2019 elections, a claim administration supporters rejected.

Idris has been accused of indulging in corruption and brutality, as people were innocently molested during his regime which he bluntly denied.




Until his appointment Monday night, Mr Mohammed, from Nasarawa State, is an assistant inspector-general by rank. He is also known within police circles as Adamu Mohammed Lafia, in reference to his place of birth, which is the Nasarawa State capital.

Mr Mohammed was born on November 9, 1961. He enlisted in the police in 1986. He has a bachelors degree in geography.


He was at one time a director of peacekeeping operations. He is a former police commissioner in Enugu and was an AIG in charge of Zone 5.

He is currently a directing staff member at the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, near Jos, Plateau State.

President Buhari was assisted by the outgoing, Inspector General of Police, Alh Ibrahim K. Idris, decorates the new Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammad Abubakar Adamu today at the State House, Abuja.
