The Inspector General of Police,
Ibrahim Kpotun Idris has failed to appear before the Senate on Wednesday, to
explain the circumstances surrounding the travails of Senator Dino Melaye.
The non appearance of the IGP
became clear when Deputy Senate leader, Bala Ibn’Nallah moved that order 17 of
senate rules which deals with the invitation of IGP be considered.
In utter dismay, Na’Allah said,
the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly matters, Senator Ita
Enang has told him that the IGP has travelled to Bauchi with President Buhari.
“Mr. President, the IGP is not
here. This afternoon, the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly
matters told me that the IGP has travelled to Bauchi with President Buhari. ”
Senate President, Dr. Bukola
Saraki asked the Chairman of Senate Committee on Police Affairs, Abu Ibrahim to
explain what happened to the invitation of IGP.
Abu said, the IGP has sent his
DIG operations, but Saraki declined, saying it is IGP that was invited.
“Did we invite the DIG or IGP?,”
Saraki asked.
Senators who spoke were unanimous
that the IGP lacked respect for the senate.
Senator Sam Egwu insisted that
the IGP was supposed to have written to the senate that he would not be
available, saying such wouldn’t generated anger from the lawmakers.
Senate president said the IGP has
no respect for democratic institution and wondered the way he conducts his
responsibility with regards to killings in the country.
Senate resolved that he appears
on Wednesday next week, before the senate to explain the security situation in
the country.
Thank you Mr IGP, keep doing your work, God will help you. Just keep in mind that that God has placed you in charge of an organisation that is saddled with law enforcement. Be courageous to uphold the integrity of that office and treat all Nigeria under thw law and constitution of the Federal Republic as equally answerable
ReplyDeleteTo the senators; the IGP is a servant to the nation Nigeria not the senate
You don't fund his salary, no you don't. His salary is paid from tax payers, while the you - senate loots the larger chunk of taxes for doing nothing, promoting political impunity, and watching each others back -
Ride on God dey oooooo
