President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed a replacement for the outgoing Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase.
The new man is Assistant Inspector general of Police (AIG) Ibrahim Idris.
He hails from Niger State.
Until his appointment, he was the AIG in charge of Federal Operations.
A source close to the Police High Command told News Express: “AIG Ibrahim Idris is in the Aso Presidential Villa right now being decorated by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Chairman of Police Service Commission (PSC), Sir Mike Okiro, is among top officers present at the occasion.”
Today June 21st, 2016, Solomon Arase left office as the Chief Law enforcement officer of Nigeria.
But not without enjoying the rare privilege of a Presidential Dinner and handshake before he picks up his retirement benefits.
So Monday June 20th 2016 was the appreciation dinner hosted by President Muhammadu Buhari for the just retired Police Chief.
