A Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Frank Mba, has voluntarily retired from the Nigeria Police Force after 34 years of service.
Mba, who served as the DIG in charge of Training and Development at the Force Headquarters, stepped down alongside several other senior officers following the recent retirement of former Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun and the appointment of Olatunji Rilwan Disu as the new head of the force.
The veteran officer joined the Nigeria Police Force in May 1992 as a cadet officer and quickly distinguished himself by graduating as the best cadet in academics at the Nigeria Police Academy.
Over the years, Mba held several key positions, including serving as the Force Public Relations Officer and as the spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, where he became widely known for his communication style and media engagements.
In his farewell message, Mba expressed appreciation to Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the opportunity to serve during his administration.
“I am deeply grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the privilege of serving our great nation during his administration. The confidence reposed in the Nigeria Police leadership and the support given to the institution during this period have been invaluable. It has been a great honour for me to contribute my quota to the security and stability of our country,” he said.
He also thanked Nigerians for their support throughout his decades-long career in the police force.
