The Presidency says the appointment of the next Inspector-General of Police will not be based on ethnic considerations, but on who can best help to protect lives and property across the country.

This is coming as the current IGP, MOHAMMED ADAMU, yesterday reached retirement age and speculations have emerged on who his successor will be.

In an interview, presidential spokesman GARBA SHEHU said it is impracticable for top security appointments to be made based on factors such as ethnicity or regions.
