President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday summoned the meeting of the Police Council at the presidential villa, Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reliably gathered that the meeting may confirm the appointment of the Acting Inspector-General of Police (Ag. IGP), Mohammed Adamu, as substantive Inspector-General of Police.
NAN reports that the Council may also deliberate on current security challenges across the country with a view to addressing them.
