President Muhammadu Buhari
summoned Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, to the presidential villa
in Abuja on Tuesday over his “breach of the order” to relocate to Benue
following the killings in the state.
On January 9, President Muhammadu
Buhari directed the inspector-general to move to Benue in order to check the
reported cases of attacks in the state.
But during an official visit to
Benue on Monday, Buhari was told that rather than obey his directive, the
inspector-general only spent 24 hours in the state.
Responding, the president said he
was not aware that Idris did not follow his instruction.
On Tuesday, the inspector-general
was at the presidential villa where he was reportedly queried over the Benue
controversy.
Buhari had a private audience
with the IGP who left about 30 minutes later.
“It is believed that the
president demanded a full report on police operations till date after which he
will make further decisions,” a presidential source told reporters.
“There is a renewed resolve to
make sure that the killings and bad security situation in Benue state abates.”
When contacted, Garba Shehu,
senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, confirmed the
meeting but refused to disclose details.
