Adamu was alleged to have been using the uniform and rank of SP to carry out illegal activities in Calabar, the capital of Cross River State.

It was learnt that he was operating as an officer of the combative corps, Police Mobile Force (PMF), without reporting to any specific police command since 2015

The Cross River State Police Command’s spokesman, SP Irene Ugbo, said, “It is true that the said officer was transferred from Cross River to Kaduna State in 2015, and no one knew he didn’t report to his new station since then.

“There are allegations that he has been carrying out criminal activities around Bacoco, Nassarawa area of Calabar. All these will be investigated with a view to prosecuting him.”
