According to the report, those that might be affected by the reorganization include

• DIG Maigari Dikko who is in charge of department of finance and administration;
• DIG Joshuak Habila, department of operations
• DIG Emmanuel Inyang, information and communications technology; and
• DIG Agboola Oshodi-Glover, logistics and supply.

The report quoted police sources as saying that DIGs Mohammed Katsina (research and planning); Sani Mohammed (training and development); and Peace Madueke -Abdallah (federal criminal investigation and intelligence) who were promoted late in 2018, could survive the impending purge of the Police Management Team.

“The three DIGs were on the same rank as Adamu last year.

In fact, Abdallah was a commissioner of police the same time the acting IG was also a CP, so they were almost on the same level.

“By virtue of this fact, the new police boss may include them in his management team and save their career from sudden death,” the source said.

Abdallah, it was learnt, has about six years to retire and could be the worst casualty of the forced retirement if Adamu decides to send all the police management team members away.

It was learnt that the IGP possessed the power to retain the management team if he so desires, but he would have to write to the Police Service Commission (PSC) about his chosen team members.
