    Nigeria's president Goodluck Jonathan has appointed the assistant inspector general of police Mohammed Dikko Abubakar as acting inspector general, replacing Hafiz Ringim who was forced out Wednesday in the wake of heightening insecurity in the West African country.
    Mohammed Dikko Abubakar
    Ringim turned in his resignation a month early, 10 days after the main suspect in the deadly Christmas Day bomb attack escaped from police custody and five days after the Kano bombings that left 185 people dead.

    He was due to retire on March 1 when he would have put in 35 years in the Police Force.

    “President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has approved the appointment of Mr. Mohammed Abubakar as Acting Inspector General of Police as a first step towards the comprehensive reorganisation and repositioning of the Nigeria Police Force,” Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati said in a statement Wednesday.

    “Mr. Abubakar who is currently an Assistant Inspector General of Police replaces Mr. Hafiz Ringim who proceeds on terminal leave with effect from today.”

    Was a good decision because if the authorities will be careless about the security then the people will be more threatened and the people involve in such activities will take things for granted . Hope Mr. Mohammed Dikko Abubakar will lead the Police wisely and plays an important role in securing the Nigerians! real estate kingman az
