THE former Inspector General of
Police, Mr. Hafiz Ringim has condemned media reports that he came to the United
Kingdom to seek asylum. Ringim described the reports as not only “evil” but
also the “figments of imagination” in the minds of those behind them.
Speaking at the
presentation of the African Public Servant of the Year award to, the Controller
-General of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko Inde,
Ringim revealed that he is a legal resident of the UK.
The former IG also disclosed
that having lived in the UK for over 30 years prior to his stint as Nigeria’s
topmost policeman, how could he then be seeking asylum in London?
“It is evil and completely
false. It’s the figment of their imagination, and absolute lies, and that’s why
I don’t speak to journalists, what they wrote is nonsense.”
Ringim, who initially
declined speaking to journalists explained that after leaving office and
returning to London, he then went back to Nigeria to formalise his stay before
then returning to London.
