Senator representing Bauchi
Central, Isa Hamma Misau, has accused the Inspector General of Police (IGP),
Ibrahim Idris, of being behind the leaked documents which exposed Wife of the
President, Aisha Buhari, as a recipient of proceeds of fraud.
In a statement issued in Abuja,
Senator Misau pointed out that his comment on approval of two jeeps, SUVs, by
the IGP for the President’s wife was in reference to court documents filed in
the charge against him by the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney
General of the Federation.
“The said documents, which form
part of the proof of evidence to the charge, are correspondences between the
Inspector General of Police and the following: the President and C-in-C of the
Federation; The Chief of Staff to the President; the Director, National
Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies; the ADC to the wife of the President;
and the Chief Personal Security Officer to the President.”
Senator Misau further accused the
IGP of blackmailing the President’s wife and other high ranking personalities
by deliberately and unethically exposing their correspondences.
He said, “It was, indeed, a shock
to me, as I’m sure it is to other Nigerians to see such private and
confidential documents with all the minutes of the President and other top
government officials carelessly displayed in the public by the Inspector
General of Police in manifest breach of official secrecy.
“The motive for displaying these
documents is no doubt suspicious, given that they have little or no bearing on
the matter of inappropriate practices within the Police.
“My submission before the Senate
Ad hoc Committee was simply to call the attention of members as well as the
general public to how the IGP is unethically dropping names through filing of
secret documents so as to rope these top ranking innocent personalities into
the case.
“The IGP is the one who submitted
the official documents mentioning the names of respected personalities, not me.
I believe I need to make this clarification.”
