In his letter of congratulations to the IGP, Emir Sanusi urged him to strengthen his resolve to fight crimes in the country.

“We are aware of your passion for justice and truth. We are also aware that you have made considerable deposit into the bank of trust among the rank and file of your officers and we pray that these and other outstanding qualities of yours should come to bear as a guiding light in the discharge of this Herculean and crucial national assignment,” he said.
Idris who once served as the Kano state commissioner of police was appointed as the acting IGP by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, June 21.
After his appointment, he declared that all officers from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) to inspector-general of police will henceforth declare their assets.
However, the Network on Police Reform in Nigeria (NOPRIN) has criticised the process that led to the appointment of Idris.
