Court can’t stop your probe — Saraki to IG

The ad hoc committee set up to probe the allegations and counter-allegations between the lawmaker representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Senator Isa Misau, and the Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, on Thursday reported the Police boss to the Senate over his non-appearance.

Idris had, on Wednesday, failed to appear before the committee, and had written through his lawyer, Alex Iziyon (SAN), telling the panel that his appearance would be sub judice as there were pending cases in court on the matter.

Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee to Investigate the Various Allegations Leveled against the Police, Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission, Senator Francis Alimikhena, who raised a point of order at the plenary on Thursday, told the lawmakers that his panel would not stop the probe as requested by Idris’ lawyers but had rather invited the police boss afresh.
