Idris failed to appear before the
senate for the third time on Wednesday and this prompted the lawmakers to go
into a closed-door session to consider the next line of action.
The IGP was expected to appear
before the senate over the growing security concerns in the country and the
case of Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west.
The closed-door session lasted
for about 50 minutes.
After the session, Senate
President Bukola Saraki said the “persistent refusal” of the IGP to appear
before the upper legislative chamber is a great danger to the country’s
democracy.
“The senate in a closed session
deliberated on the non-appearance of the IGP to the senate to the plenary after
a series of invitation,” Saraki said.
“The senate noted that this has
been a gross disrespect to our constituted authority and to also know that his
earlier refusal to appear before investigative committee was overruled by
competent court of jurisdiction just in April this year.
“The senate therefore view this
persistent refusal is a great danger to our democracy and hence the senate
resolved to declare IGP as an enemy of democracy and not fit to rule any public
office within and outside Nigeria.”
The senate president mandated
Ahmed Lawan, senate leader, to “look into the matter for further necessary
action.”
