The Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has been decorated as the new acting Inspector-General of Police, following the expiration of former IGP.
Baba was decorated on Wednesday by the Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at Aso Villa in Abuja.
President Muhammadu Buhari had on Tuesday through the Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammad Dingyadi appointed Baba to succeed Mohammed Adamu.
Recall that Adamu tenure ended in February after completion of his mandatory 35 years of service, but the President gave him a three-month extension, out of which he had only spent about two months before the announcement of the new IGP.
Baba, who was born in 1963, is an alumnus of Bayero University, Kano, and the University of Maiduguri, joined the Nigeria Police Force in 1988.
