Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Training and Development, Frank Mba, has retired from active service after more than three decades in the Nigeria Police Force. In his farewell message, Mba expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the opportunity to serve during the current administration. "I am deeply grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the privilege of serving our great nation during his administration. The confidence reposed in the Nigeria Police leadership and the support given to the institution during this period have been invaluable," he said. He also acknowledged the role of the Nigerian public in supporting the work of the police throughout his years of service. "Policing is a difficult but noble profession, and whatever success we recorded was made possible by the understanding and support of Nigerians. I leave the service with a heart full of gratitude and pride for having had the opportunity to serve," Mba said. Mba's retirement comes amid a leadership transition within the Nigeria Police Force following the exit of former Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun and the appointment of Olatunji Disu as the new Inspector-General. He joined the Nigeria Police Force in 1992 as a cadet officer and later trained at the Nigeria Police Academy in Kano, where he graduated as the best cadet of his set. Alongside his policing career, he built a strong academic profile in law. Mba obtained a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree from the University of Lagos, proceeded to the Nigerian Law School, and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2002. He later earned a Master's degree in Law with distinction from the University of Dundee in Scotland. During his career, he served as commissioner of police in Ogun State and as commissioner of police in charge of the Border Patrol Force at the Force Headquarters.
