The IGP also named the Commissioner of Police in charge of Gombe State, CP Etim Equa as his replacement.
Baba ordered Equa to immediately proceed to Adamawa State for election security of the yet-to-be concluded supplementary governorship poll.
Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, made this known on Tuesday while addressing journalists in Abuja.
The spokesperson stressed that the police chief is committed to a free and fair process.
He said; “The IGP has given directive that the commissioner of police on election security in Adamawa State, CP Barde should pull out of Adamawa State and the Commissioner of Police in charge of Gombe State, CP Etim Equa to proceed to Adamawa immediately, to go and supervise election and provide necessary information and ensure that the process is a success.”
