The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, is expected to proceed on terminal leave soon having spent the mandatory number of years in service.
Abubakar, from Zamfara State, joined the Nigeria Police Force on July 30, 1979 and is due for retirement on July 30, 2014, based on the mandatory retirement age.
The replacement for Abubakar may be named early next month by the government.

The Inspector General of police is usually appointed by the Nigeria Police Council which is chaired by the President.
