Lafia's appointment reportedly got the blessing of President Muhammadu Buhari, who met with IG Ibrahim Idris, who is expected to bow out of service today after attaining the retirement age of 60.
The "unexpected" appointment came last nght following
opposition from some quarters against possible tenure extension for IG Idris, who has also attained the statutory 35 years in service.
It was gathered that the acting IG was selected by the president among three names submitted to him after weeks of shopping for Idris’ replacement.
AIG Lafia, The Nation gathered, is a course mate of Force Secretary AIG Taiwo Lakanu and former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) boss Ibrahim Lamorde.
Until his appointment, the Lafia, Nasarawa State-born AIG Lafia was serving at the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS).
It was gathered that the officer, who, like Idris, spent many years working with the United Nations (UN) and the International Police (INTERPOL), will be officially announced today (Tuesday).
Confirming the development to The Nation, a source close to IG Idris said the decision was taken yesterday.
