A Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Training and Development at Force Headquarters, Frank Mba, alongside several other senior officers, will be retiring from the Nigeria Police Force, following recent changes in the leadership of the force.
This is just as seven Assistant Inspectors-General of Police have been slated for promotion to the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Police.
The AIGs invited for the promotion interviews are Margareth Ochalla, Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, Ishiaku Mohammed, Zacharia Fera Achinyan, Zango Ibrahim Baba, Mohammed Abdul Sulaiman, and Umar Shehu Nadada.
Mba and other DIGs exit followed the exit of the former Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the confirmation of Tunji Disu as the new Inspector General of Police.
Disu was sworn in on Wednesday as the 23rd indigenous IGP.
In a farewell message, Mba expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the opportunity to serve the nation during his administration.
“I am deeply grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the privilege of serving our great nation during his administration. The confidence reposed in the Nigeria Police leadership and the support given to the institution during this period have been invaluable,” he said.
“It has been a great honour for me to contribute my quota to the security and stability of our country.”
He also thanked Nigerians for their support throughout his years in service.
“I want to sincerely thank the good people of Nigeria for the trust, encouragement and cooperation they extended to me throughout my 34 years in service.
“Policing is a difficult but noble profession, and whatever success we recorded was made possible by the understanding and support of Nigerians. I leave the service with a heart full of gratitude and pride for having had the opportunity to serve,” Mba said.
