Police sack corporal who operated illegally for nine years
One Corporal Buba Adamu has been dismissed from the Nigerian Police after he refused to report to his new station in Kaduna.
Adamu was said to have been transferred to Kaduna State from Cross River Command nine years ago.
The corporal reportedly promoted himself to the rank of superintendent and operated illegal activities in the Cross River Command.
The spokesperson of the command, SP Irene Ugbo, made this disclosure at a press briefing in Calabar on Thursday.
She said that Adamu had operated as a “mobile police officer” without any supervision or reporting to a specific police command since 2015 when the transfer was made.

The dismissed corporal was allegedly drawing salary from the police despite not reporting to his new station.
Nemesis caught up with Adamu after he was exposed by some concerned members of the Nasarawa community, a Hausa-Fulani settlement in Calabar municipality that had reportedly suffered from his unlawful activities.
The community raised the alarm when they learnt that the police command was under pressure to release Adamu following his arrest.
Ugbo said: “As of today, Corporal Adamu is no longer a policeman because he has been relieved of his duties.
“Every item of property belonging to the Nigeria Police in his possession, including uniforms, identification card and others, has been retrieved.
“The matter has now been charged in court. It is left to the judiciary. The court will take it up from where we stopped, as we have done the needful.”
