Adamu Occupying IG Office Illegally – Ozekhome

Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN constitutional lawyer and human rights activist, has joined some Nigerians to condenm the extension granted Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu to remain in office for three months. According to him, Adamu is occupying the IG office illegally.

Ozekhome said on Channels Television that Adamu is occupying the office illegally.

He asked President Muhammadu Buhari to rescind the decision to extend Adamu’s tenure by another three months, saying it is an aberration.

He said that the extension will affect the career growth of qualified police personnel.

“In the eye of the law, there is no Inspector-General of Police. What we have there presently is a retired Inspector General of Police illegally occupying the office”.

Pushing his case that Adamu is occupying the IG office illegally, he continued:

”Just as Ibrahim Magu had illegally occupied his office as Acting Chairman of EFCC even after he was rejected two times under Section 2 subsection 3 of the EFCC Establishment Act of 2004, based on damning report by the DSS of the same government which said he failed integrity test”.

“I can imagine some hawks, some emergency constitutional lawyers and rights activists coming out soon to say Mr Adamu can act forever as they told Magu”.

“In the eye of the law, we do not have an IGP at all because the last one has retired by a fusion of time statutorily and constitutionally. So, Mr President cannot by an administrative fiat recreate the law. The only organ that can make the law is the National Assembly under section 15 subsection 2”.
