Nigerian Police under Adamu Abubakar is planning big for sports -CP Umar, NFF Security Advisor

By George Aluo

CP G. B Umar is one of the Nigerian police officers whom sports could be said to be running in his veins like blood.
He is the chairman of Police Football Association and Head, National Central Bureau, Interpol.
The Super cop who is the security advisor to the nation’s soccer governing body, NFF in an interview he granted The Nigerian Xpress Sports in Cairo, Egypt during the just concluded Egypt 2019 Cup of Nations, disclosed that the Nigerian Police Force under the able leadership of the Inspector General (IGP) Mohammed Adamu Abubakar is planning big for sports.
Hear him: “For your information, the new Inspector General of Police (IGP), has earmarked a certain number of intakes (recruits) into the Police for sports men and women. These are people that can come into the Force through sports. This is a way of bringing in fresh bloods or fresh sporting legs if you like, into the Police.
This is a way of ensuring replacement for those of us that would in no distance time bow out of the stage. One thing that I would like to say also is the fact that the present IGP, Mohammed Adamu Abubakar is somebody that loves sports. Not only that, he is a person that has been in Interpol. He has this passion for bringing in and giving officers good exposure…so that their talents can be fully exploited not only in academics but also in sports.”
