Anxiety in Police as IGP Idris’ tenure ends today

There is anxiety in the Nigeria Police over what could happen in the next 24 hours, as the service term of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim Idris, ends today.

Idris, the nation’s 19th Inspector General of Police, was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari, on March 21, 2016, to replace Solomon Arase.

The 59-year-old Niger State-born Police Chief is due for retirement having enlisted in 1984.

But there are speculations that his tenure could be extended by the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, as he is yet to attain the mandatory retirement age of 60 years
