The Federal government of Nigeria, through the office of the
Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has filed two
separate fraud charges against Senator Hamman Isa
Misau representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District for making
injurious statements against the Inspector General of Police (IGP),
Ibrahim Idris.
Recall that Senator Misau had alleged that the IGP paid N2.5m to
get special promotion and posting through the Police Service
Commission (PSC).
He had equally accused the IGP of fraud and sexual misconduct
and the Nigerian Senate had, sequel to that, agreed to launch an
investigation into the allegation.
However, the police, in a response, had equally accused the
Senator of absconding the force, a claim the Police Service
Commission later disproved, maintaining that Senator Misau
properly retired from the police force.
However, the senior state counsel, Mr. Aminu Akilu, in two
separate charges, one being a seven count charge at the Federal
High Court in Abuja and the other being a five-counts at the FCT
High Court accused the senator of making injurious statements
against the IGP.
The charge read thus:
“That you, lsah Hamman Misau of Hamman Misau Residence,
Turaki Street, Misau, Bauchi State, on or about August 10, 2017, at
Abuja and other part of Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this

police officers pay as much as two million, five hundred thousand
naira (N2.5m) to get special promotion and posting through the
Police Service Commission as published in the Daily Trust
Newspaper dated August 10, 2017, knowing that such false
statement of fact would harm the reputation of Mr. Ibrahim Kpotun
ldris (the serving Inspector-General of Police), the Nigeria Police
Force and the Police Service Commission and you thereby
committed an offense.

about ten billion naira (N10bn) is being received by the Inspector-
General of Police on a monthly basis from oil companies, banks,
hotels and individuals as bribes for police protection and that is

Jubrin and one-sided style of fighting corruption.

I hope the Senator should be rewarded for exposing the corrupt Inspector General of Police based on the Jibrin's Whistle Blowing Policy of fighting corruption.


I read in The Punch Newspaper that the Senate will also probes the Inspector General.

The case is purely a bad blood between Misau and The IG.

Every body is corrupt in this country, including buhari. Too bad

What about the person that the senator blew the whistle on?
