Nigerians react as Buhari replaces Idris with new IG of Police


Nigerians have reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of AIG Mohammed Adamu as the new acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) on Tuesday.

Buhari decorated Adamu with a new rank during his meeting with outgoing Inspector General of Police, IGP, Ibrahim Idris and his successor at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Until his appointment, Adamu, who hails from Lafia in Nasarawa State, had served as the Commissioner of Police in Enugu State. He was one-time director of peacekeeping operations of the Force.

Mohammed’s appointment has since stirred diverse reactions from Nigerians on social media.

While some applauded Buhari for replacing Idris, others accused the President of one-sided appointment favouring the Northern part of Nigeria.

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter:

@Okorocollins1 ” Congratulations to the new IGP. Hope he brings sanity to the police force. Nigerians are watching oh.”

@Officialad5 ” The igbo nation are seeing this nepotism at it’s peak.. Our next level democratic sales boys will come to brainwash us that the lifeless FC loves us by reminding us about the five ministerial appointments which is constitutional our right.vote wisely.”

@Viva567 “Congrats Mr Adamu Mohammed. Please service Nigeria not Buhari and APC. Your predecessor is the worst IGP in Nigeria because he allow Buhari and cabal to mislead him.”

@SopuluUmeobi “Another northerner, this President continue telling us Nigeria is not one but belongs to the north.”

@Atikulated “Buhari’s nepotistic appointments alone is enough reason to reject him. He is creating unnecessary divisions and enmity among different Nigerian tribes. We need unifier at this critical moment in our national life. Let’s vote for Atiku. Let’s unite our country.”

@Djfm1 “And only Northerners can be trusted with our lives? Baba no dey disappoint in nepotic clanishnes.”

@Dsamsonitodo “It is certain a new Inspector General of Police will superintend over the 2019 elections. Will he dismantle/maintain the structures already instituted by the outgoing IGP for the elections or rebuild new structures?

@Yemiefash “President Buhari did well this time, he scored some points for himself by removing the transmission fellow from IGP, I hope the new Ag IGP will be better, I hope he will correct the misdeeds of the outgoing IGP. Posterity will judge Ibrahim Idris.”

@MrbanksOmishore “However late, Buhari scored some points by removing Transmission Transmission IG. The new guy should learn and be professional is his conduct. Hope Police will now release all political prisoners locked up under the directive of non English speaking Idris. ”

@PrettieAdiela “Finally Idris gives way as president Buhari who will also give way picks Abubakar Adamu from Nassarawa as new IGP. Though the questions arise on why yet another northerner was appointed,We welcome the new IGP and charge him to stay true. Let him Start by freeing Adeyanju Deji.”

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
