The Police Service Commission
(PSC) has said it cannot probe the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris,
for alleged bribery.
PSC’s spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani,
explained that Idris was not under the commission’s supervision by virtue of
the Act establishing the commission.
He stated that the commission
could only discipline or probe policemen from the rank of constable to Deputy
Inspector-General of Police.
“So, the commission cannot
investigate or discipline the IG,” Ani said.
A senior EFCC official also told
Punch, that the anti-graft agency had no reason yet to probe Idris.
“We are currently not probing the
IG and as it is, there is no reason to probe him,” he said.
Chairman, Senate Committee on
Navy, Isah Misau, had recently accused Idris of extorting money, ranging from
N10m to N15m, from Commissioners of Police, state mobile commanders and special
protection unit commanders, for favourable postings.
Misau had also alleged that the
police boss made N10bn monthly from oil companies and other private individuals
who enjoy special protection from the security agency.
Person of IGP Idris is not and will never be corrupt...
ReplyDeleteMisau should be investigated too for all sort of allegations he is trying to label again the IGP.
Probably he has something he is after.
