On July 03, 2022, at about 19:20:50 PM, Buhari reportedly directs IGP Adamu to hand over was updated.

The Nation reports that Adamu was told of his fate after Buhari’s arrival, quoting a top source at the presidency.

“The IGP has been asked by the President to handover,” the source said. “Adamu was waiting for the presidential directive.

He would have left on Monday but it will be discourteous to have exited without a clear-cut directive from the President and Commander-In-Chief.

“He may likely hand over to the most senior deputy inspector-general of Police.

I am aware Adamu was yesterday putting finishing touches to his handover note.”

There were speculations on social media last night that AIG Zanna Ibrahim might be appointed the new Inspector General of Police.
