Police corporal detained for abandoning duty for 9 years

A corporal, Buba Adamu, has been detained by the Cross River police command for refusing to report to duty after being transferred in 2015.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Irene Ugbo said Adamu has been receiving his salaries for about nine years despite not reporting to his place of posting in Kaduna State. 

It was further gathered that Adamu had been operating around Bakoko Nassarawa, a Hausa/Fulani settlement in Calabar Municipality. 

Ugbo said;

“The said officer was transferred from Cross River to Kaduna State in 2015, but no one knew he didn’t report to his new station.

“There are allegations that he has been carrying out criminal activities around Bakoko Nassarawa area of Calabar, all this will be investigated. The image of the force is important to us. We shall not allow anyone to spoil our image.”
