The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, is set to re-marry.
This is coming one year after the death of Mohammed’s wife, Maryram.
CSP Frank Mba, the spokesman for the force, who confirmed the story, said on Wednesday that the wedding has been tentatively fixed for September 14.
Mba, however, said the confirmation was not an invitation to the public as the intended wedding was the private affair of the IGP.
He said: “I want to appeal to the media to respect the privacy of the intending couple.
“We must all remember that that there is a line between Mohammed Abubkar as a private citizen of Nigeria and the office of the Inspector General of Police.
“As much as possible, we urge the media to respect the privacy of his life and strike a very good balance between his quest for legitimate public interest and information.”
It will be recalled that Maryam died in January 2012 shortly after Abubakar assumed office in acting capacity.
