    Arase, 65, retired in 2016, and was the 18th indigenous Inspector-General of Police (between April 2015 and June 2016).

    He has served in various capacities including as head of the Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Bureau, the foremost intelligence-gathering unit of the Nigerian police.

    Also, President Buhari swore-in five board members of the Code of Conduct Bureau.

    They include Murtala Kankia from Katsina State (North-West); Zephaniah Bulus from Nasarawa State (North Central) and Farouk Umar from Yobe State (North East), Taofeek Abdulsalam from Ondo State (South West) and Prof. Juwaria Badamasi from Kogi State (North Central).
