“Apart from heading police formations at their most strategic levels in Nigeria, Adamu Mohammed Lafia had also risen to the apex of international policing in Lyon France, where he rose through the hierarchy of the organization to ascend the exalted position of the Vice President of INTERPOL, a position he held for years with distinction.”

The forum maintained that IG Mohammed is arguably the most qualified serving police officer at this time, to occupy the very sensitive office of the inspector general of police.
