He said, “I may not attempt to answer that question (on why Abba was sacked) because I was not part of the Presidency that removed him; so I cannot give adequate answer.

“Though at the (Police Council) meeting, the President tried to explain to members based on the question raised by one of the governors that Nigerians may want to know why the former IGP was removed.
