Senator Isa Misau, the lawmaker representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, has asked the Nigerian Senate to probe the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, over alleged corrupt practices and misconduct.

 

According to a report by PUNCH newspaper, while raising a point of order at the plenary on Wednesday, Misau reiterated his earlier allegations against Idris, including the IGP’s recent alleged “secret” marriage to a serving policewoman against the public service rule.

It was gathered that the lawmaker had recently alleged that the police was collecting about N120bn annually from corporate organisations and ‘very important personalitiess’ for security services, an allegation he made again on the floor of the Senate.

 

Misau urged the Senate to set up and adhoc committee to investigate his allegations against Idris, saying that he would provide documentary evidence before the panel.

While the request was approved by the lawmakers, President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, said members of the panel would be announced later in the day.
