Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammed Dingyadi said the appointment of Usman Baba as the Inspector-General of Police is for a single tenure of four years.

Dingyadi made the confirmation on Thursday through his Press Secretary, Osaigbovo Ehisienmen.

The minister explained that the clarification followed reports of tenure extension in a section of the media.

Dingyadi said the IGP was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari on April 6, 2021 and confirmed by the Nigeria Police Council on June, 2021 for a single tenure.
