THE newly appointed Inspector-General of Police Usman Alkali Baba has only two years left in the Nigeria Police, The ICIR has found.

Baba was appointed Acting IGP on Tuesday by President Muhammadu Buhari to replace former IGP Mohammed Adamu.

However, he has only two more years to spend as an officer of the Nigerian Police Force.

This is because the Acting IGP admitted in a 2014 interview that he joined the Police Force “sometimes in March 1988.”

He said this during an interview with The Vanguard published on September 24, 2014.

“Alkali Baba Usman was born sometime in 1963. I am an alumnus of Bayero University, Kano, and the University of Maiduguri, UNIMAID.”

In his response in the interview, he had said, “I am married with children. I joined the Nigerian Police Force sometime in March 1988. I rose from the rank of ASP, and thence to the rank of Commissioner of Police, last January 27th.”


This means that he is 33 years in service and 58 years of age. The Police Act prescribes a maximum of 35 years of service and/or 60 years of age for retirement -whichever comes first.

Acting IGP Baba should be 35 years in service and 60 years in 2023, hence due for retirement in the election year.

Part 111 Section 7 (6) of the Police Act, repealed as the Police Act Cap. P19, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, prescribed a four-year single tenure for a person appointed to the office of the IGP.

The appointment of an IGP is subject to the provisions of clause 18 (, which stipulates that every police officer shall, on recruitment or appointment, serve in the Nigeria Police Force for a period of 35 years or until he attains the age of 60 years, whichever is earlier.

If, like former IGP Adamu, his tenure is extended, there could be legal fisticuffs, especially because 2023 is an election year.

This present government is the WORST I have ever seen since amalgamation... The absolute low.

Come2023 we should apply the wisely part of the phrase " vote wisely".

They will changed the law to favour him as usual

Russian military will settle this huge cheat called Nigeria last last one atomic bomb is okay in Aso rock

Ok

Good

this one na Fatima

Not surprised one bit, the country has been on autopilot since 2017. When you don't allow the dead to rest in peace, it comes with repercussions.

Still waiting for the change apc promised us

If he’s otherwise qualified and is getting immediate results then I’m good. He can stay there even as an embalmed fossil.

We focus on the wrong stuff in Nigeria.

A lot of people don't know that I'm related to this man..

It's just a matter of time, I expect a south leader to reciprocate what the present leader is doing.

Tell them before Buhari and come will turn deaf hear to the constitution again. When everyone obeys the law, then we can have some sort of orderliness. Our external battery guarantees you between ten to twenty four hours extra working hour on your laptop. Don't let power issue delay you and don't get mistaken for a Yahoo boy because of your generator noise.

This life nor balance at all. The IGP Adamu was busy directing his men to crush IPOB and ESN, not knowing he has already been crushed down by order from above. Truly, Christ has risen.

To work for buhari is like working for the devil.... you always end up paying with your life, career, reputation (if you have one) or family....

infact, buhari just be like the Devil for John 10:¹⁰... "the thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill and to destroy......"

even since their Daddy enter office... these three things has always happen everytime... again, again again and again

He will milk every single day of that 2 years, that one we are certain of

If he behaves well, he will be given an extension because March 2023 will be in the thick of the General Elections.

The closest Southerner is Jitoboh and he is far behind.

Usman Baba Alkali, before his appointment as IGP, was the second most Senior Officer in the Police.

Do you know even if a southerner was the closest in rank to the former IGP this government would have found a way to manipulate the process and retire him so that a northerner will be appointed ?

Unfortunately, that is not disputable.

I hope when a Southern President comes in and start appointing men from his region nobody will complain of being marginalized.
