Following the suit by a lawyer, Maxwell Opara before the Federal High Court in Abuja, challenging Mohammed Adamu’s continued stay in office as Inspector-General of Police (IGP) beyond February 1, IGP Adamu has faulted the argument that his retention in office was unlawful having attained the maximum 35 years in service on February 1.
Adamu argued that the new Nigeria Police Act gave him a four-year tenure which would only lapse in either 2023 or 2024. He insisted that his tenure will lapse in 2023 if counted from 2019 when he was appointed as the IGP, or 2024, if counted from 2020 when the new Nigeria Police Act came into force. His position is contained in the counter-affidavit and notice of objection he filed against a suit by a lawyer, Maxwell Opara before the Federal High Court in Abuja, challenging Adamu’s continued stay in office beyond February 1.
