The plaintiff, through his lawyer, Ezekiel Ugochukwu, urged the court to declare the continued stay of Adamu as IGP as illegal and unconstitutional, but the defendants prayed the court to dismiss the suit for lacking in merit. According to him, the Constitution empowers President Buhari to appoint a serving police officer as the IGP, in consultation with the police council.
Adamu, who attained the maximum 35 years in service on February 1 but got a three-month extension of his tenure by President Buhari two days later, argued that his tenure had not elapsed. The plaintiff, among other things, prayed the court to restrain Adamu from exercising any form of command or control over the Nigeria Police Force.

Nigeria has truly been confirmed as a country of jokes. Autocratic government, military governance in democratic disguise. Bastards
But why should they talk of extending his tenure
Do it before bubu comes back from holiday
