Court dismisses suit seeking IGP Alkali’s sack

He noted there was no evidence Idoko is a serving policeman qualified for appointment or has applied for IGP position and denied.

The judge cited Section 7 (6) of Police Act 2020, which puts tenure of any IGP at four years.

Justice Omotosho also held that Baba’s retirement from the Police has nothing to do with his appointment on the grounds that the four-year tenure remains sacrosanct.

Idoko had, through his lawyer, James Onoja (SAN), filed the suit to challenge legality of the continuous stay in office of the IGP, having allegedly served out his tenure.
