The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has filed a suit to challenge the tenure elongation of Mohammed Adamu, the inspector-general of police (IGP).
According to media reports, the Public Interest Litigation Committee of the NBA, in a suit filed on Thursday at a federal high court in Lagos, is seeking an order asking Adamu to vacate office.
The lawyers argued that Adamu’s continuous stay in office is in contravention of the provisions of the constitution.
The NBA sought an order “setting aside the purported elongation of the tenure” of the IGP.
Reacting, Olumide Akpata, NBA president, said the suit was filed in line with the association’s motto of promoting the rule of law.
Akpata added that the NBA will continue to condemn and confront lawlessness from all quarters
