THE Inspector General of Police has been ordered to restore the security aide of Anambra governor, Willie Obiano, by the Nigerian Senate.

Obiano had raised an alarm that his life was in danger following the withdrawal of his security details.

However, the Police has said it was only the aid-de-camp attached to the governor that was withdrawn and not his security details as errorneously peddled.

It said the governor’s aide was withdrawn because of past experiences where such cops worked for their principals.

The Senate’s directive was sequel to a Point of Order raised by Deputy Minority Leader, Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha during plenary in Abuja.

Bwacha described the withdrawal of the governor’s aide as unjust.

“As a senator, I know that injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. If we don’t arrest the matter the President may be made hostage unknown to him.

“If we allow such cabal to grow and are not tamed, the Federal Government may be brought down to its knees.”

He said as members of parliament they had a duty to ensure that “What happened in Anambra did not happen anywhere again.

“Candidates should be allowed level playing ground but nobody should do a thing as crude and shrewd as what happened in Anambra. This was wrong.

“I will make attempt to try and reach the President that some of his aides are been over zealous in discharging their constitutional duties; this is not good and it is uncalled for.”

The Upper Chamber also directed the Chairman Senate Committee on Police Affairs, Sen. Abu Ibrahim to ensure that the order was carried out and report back to the Senate on Thursday, Nov. 16.
