The Editorial Board of Swift Publishing Company Limited, publisher of Swift Reporters, has congratulated Assistant Inspector General Habu Ahmadu Sani on his redeployment as Force Secretary.
In a congratulatory message to AIG Habu Ahmadu Sani, the Publisher of Swift Reporters, Adewole Kehinde said that position is well deserved considering the various positions and posts he has held in the Nigeria Police Force both within and outside Nigeria.
Adewole said AIG Habu Ahmadu Sani is one of the most incorruptible and intelligent police officers in Nigeria today.
“An officer like AIG Habu Ahmadu Sani will make the best Inspector General of Police if they consider that position, especially now that the tenure of the current IGP comes to an end in March 2023,” Adewole reiterated.
Recall that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, on Tuesday ordered the posting/redeployment of Deputy Inspectors-General of Police (DIGs), Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs), and Commissioners of Police (CPs) to departments, commands, and formations in line with his manpower development policy of “placing round pegs in round holes.”
AIG Habu Ahmadu Sani was the AIG in charge of the Force Intelligence Bureau until his redeployment as Force Secretary.
Habu was born into the family of Alhaji Ahmadu Sani of KARHI Royal House, Hakimin Gidan Bang-Gundumar Dinbiso, Wurno LGA of Sokoto State, on April 7, 1964.

He joined the Nigeria Police Force as a cadet assistant superintendent of police and did his training at the Police Academy Annex in Kaduna from May 18 to 22, 1992.
Some offices occupied by the new AIG are as follows:

As an Assistant Commissioner of Police, he was posted to the Niger State Command as the ACP of the Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department (CIID). He later transferred to Force Headquarters Abuja, got promoted, and headed the Technical Intelligence Unit (TIU) as Deputy Commissioner of Police. in-charge of the Unit (TIU)
Furthermore, in acknowledging his hard work and successes recorded in the fight against crimes and criminality across the country, he was posted to head the IGP-Monitoring Unit at Force Headquarters Abuja and promoted to the rank of Commissioner of Police.
The office is directly responsible for the supervision and coordination of sensitive intelligence and special tactical operational outfits, as well as referred investigations of the Nigeria Police Force through the ISP’s office.
Before his posting to Kano, he was once the Commissioner of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB), FHQ Abuja, and at the same time the Deputy Coordinator of the Intelligence Arm of Operation Puff Adder, launched by the former Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, to checkmate crimes across the country.
He was appointed Kano State Commissioner of Police in November 2019 and became AIG in charge of the Force Intelligence Bureau in 2021.
It is hoped that the new Force Secretary will employ his numerous years of experience and expertise in his new position to take the Nigeria Police Force to greater heights.
