The Police High Command has described as ‘untrue, unfounded, defamatory and libellous’, the publication by online news medium, Sahara Reporters, dated February 07, 2021, which alleged that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu, bribed his way to have his tenure extended by President Muhammad Buhari.
The Sahara Report has claimed that IGP Adamu NPM, was1 paid over N2 billion for the tenure extension.
In a statement issued by Force Public Relations Officer, Commissioner of Police Frank MBA, he siad that “The Force wishes to state categorically that the extension of service of the IGP was strictly the prerogative of the President and was never paid for as maliciously reported in the publication.
“The insinuations also by Sahara Reporters that the IGP did not ‘celebrate’ his extension smacks of ignorance and a pathetic misplacement of priority. The extension does not call for merry-making or celebration but a time for more work, rededication to duty and selfless service to the nation.
