The group said the profile of Abubakar was not befitting of an acting IG of police, urging Jonathan reconsider it.
In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Sunday Oibe, CAN said, “One begins to wonder why a man who was indicted for religious fanaticism by the Niki Tobi commission, which equally recommended him for retirement and outright dismissal could be allowed to remain in the police force.
“The appointment of Mohammed D. Abubakar as the acting Inspector General of Police came to us as a big surprise because this is a man whose career is trailed by controversy based on religious fanaticism. To us, the appointment of Abubakar is an extension of terrorism in Nigeria.
“Christians in Northern Nigeria will not feel safe following his antecedents as the commissioner of police in Plateau State as documented by the Justice Niki Tobi commission of inquiry into the Jos crisis in 2001.To us, it is a licence given to him by the president to unleash terror on Christians and we reject his appointment.
“It appears that some unpatriotic characters, especially in the Nigerian police are being allowed to have their ways in this country. We say this because there is a similarity between Zakari Biu, the commissioner of police, who set free a suspected Boko Haram member and Abubakar, who supervised the killings and wanton destruction of lives and property in the 2001 crisis in Jos.”
