    Police dismiss officer for ‘rejecting transfer to new station’

    Police

    Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has dismissed Buba Adamu, a corporal “who refused to report at his new station in Kaduna”.

    Adamu had been transferred to Kaduna from the Cross River State Police Command where he had been for nine years.

    However, the corporal reportedly promoted himself to the rank of superintendent and allegedly operated illegally from the Cross River command.

    During a press briefing in Calabar, Irene Ugbo, spokesperson of the command, said Adamu operated as a “mobile police officer without any supervision or reporting to a specific police command since 2015 when the transfer was made”.

    The dismissed corporal was alleged to have been receiving salary despite not reporting at his new station.

    Some concerned members of the Nassarawa community, a Hausa/Fulani settlement in Calabar, reportedly brought Adamu’s “illicit activities” to the attention of the force.

    Adamu was detained (read here) but the community raised the alarm when they learnt that the police command was under pressure to release him following his arrest.

    “As of today, Corporal Adamu is no longer a policeman, because he has been relieved of his duties,” Ugbo said.

    “Every item, property belonging to the Nigeria police in his possession, including uniforms, identification card and others have been retrieved.

    “The matter has now been charged to court. It is left for the judiciary. The court will take it up from where we stopped, as we have done the needful.”
