BlackBox Nigeria has gathered that the newly promoted Inspector-General of Police, Muhammed Adamu has just this evening, retired seven deputy inspectors-general of police who were his seniors.
The affected officers are Maigari Dikko, the DIG in charge of finance and administration and Habila Joshak, the DIG in charge of operations.
The remaining five DIGs are Emmanuel Inyang, information and communications technology; Agboola Oshodi-Glover, logistics and supply; Mohammed Katsina, research and planning; Sani Mohammed, training and development; and Peace Ibekwe-Abdallah, federal criminal investigation and intelligence.
It was learnt that their retirement came Sunday 27th 2019, and it would be announced formally later.
Meanwhile, Police spokesperson, Frank Mba’s telephone was switched off at the time of this report.
The seven police chiefs’ departure was in furtherance of the convention that recommends the retirement of senior police chiefs when an officer junior to them in service or lower in rank is appointed to lead the institution.
This retirement is coming as a Police tradition, which has been criticized as wasteful and demoralizing because of huge resources the nation had spent on the vast knowledge the senior officers had acquired over the years.
