BREAKING: Adamawa Police Commissioner Sacked Over Governorship Election Results
Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, has ordered that the Commissioner of Police on election duty in Adamawa State, Mohammed Barde withdraw from the state with immediate effect.
The IGP also ordered that the Commissioner of Police in charge of Gombe State, CP Etim Equa, immediately proceed to Adamawa State for election security of the yet-to-be-concluded supplementary governorship poll.
Force Public Relations Officer Muyiwa Adejobi, while addressing journalists in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, said the IGP is committed to a free and fair process.
He said, “The IGP has given directive that the commissioner of police on election security in Adamawa State, CP Barde should pull out of Adamawa State and the Commissioner of Police in charge of Gombe State, CP Etim Equa to proceed to Adamawa immediately, to go and supervise election and provide necessary information and ensure that the process is a success.”
Adejobi also said the IGP has yet to receive any letter from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) seeking the probe and prosecution of its embattled Resident Electoral Commissioner in Adamawa, Hudu Yunusa Ari.
Meanwhile, Onyxnewsng reports that Ahmadu Fintiri of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been declared winner after the collation of the state governorship election results by INEC.
