SAN FRANCISCO, May 02, (THEWILL) – The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, has again failed to appear before the Senate.
THEWILL recalls that Idris had been summoned last week by the Senators to give information on the arrest of Senator Dino Melaye and the killings in the country.
However, Idris sent a Deputy Inspector General of Police who was rejected by the Senators with an instruction that Idris appears by himself.
Yet again, the IGP, on Wednesday, sent a Deputy Inspector General of Police on his behalf to brief the Senate.
The Chairman Senate Committee on Police Affairs Senator Abu Ibrahim informed the Senate that the Police boss is on an official assignment in Birnin Gwari Kaduna state.
But Senate President Bukola Saraki condemned the action of the Police IG describing it as a threat to democracy.
The Senate has directed the Senate Leader and the Chairman of its committee on Police Affairs to liaise with the Executive over the matter and report back to the Senate.
