Nigeria's Police Chief Fired Two Days After the Country's Largest Prison Break

Nigeria's police chief has been fired two days after more than 1,800 inmates escaped from a prison in the southeastern part of the county. 

Inspector General of Police Muhammed Adamu was relieved of his duty Tuesday while visiting the scene in the town of Owerri, where he called for the Biafran separatist group to be destroyed for attacking the prison and freeing the inmates.  The reason for Adamu’s ouster was not given.  President Muhammadu Buhari approved Usman Alkali Baba, who was the force's deputy chief, as Adamu’s replacement.
