Lemu was appointed the DIG Operations last November following the retirement of DIG Abdulmajid Ali.

He holds a BA(Ed) in Political Science and has attended several professional courses including: Intermediate Command Course, Senior Command Course, Peacekeeping Training Course.

He is a member of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos.

Until his promotion as DIG, he was the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in-charge of Zonal Headquarters (Zone-12), Bauchi.
