The Acting Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has written to President Muhammadu Buhari demanding the immediate retirement of at least 30 senior officers of the Force.
Sources knowledgeable in the matter said the letter from Idris to Buhari was received at the Presidency on Friday.
The matter, it was gathered, is being handled by Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.
It was gathered that those to be retired are mainly of the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police.
Ibrahim was himself as AIG before his upliftment.
As earlier reported by The Eagle Online, all the Deputy Inspectors General of Police, seven of them, would be compulsorily retired because they are senior in rank to Idris.
However, Idris is demanding the sack of the AIGs because though some of them are his colleagues in terms of course and rank, they are his senior in terms of promotion.
Most of them became AIG before Idris did.
As at press time, there has been no reaction from the Force Headquarters and the Presidency on the development.
