ABUJA-MEMBERs of the House of
Representatives Tuesday
mandated the House Committee
on Police Affairs to summon the
Inspector General of Police, Mr
Mohammed Abubakar to explain
the role of the police in the
alleged harassment of G-7
Governors at the Kano state
Government House on Sunday.
The committee is also expected
to ascertain the circumstances
leading to the invasion of the
Kano’s Governor’s lodge by the
men and officers of the Nigeria
Police Force under the command
of a divisional Police Officer, DPO
and report back to the House
within two weeks.
This development was sequel to
a motion brought to the floor of
the House under matters of
National Importance by Rep Idris
Kutigi, PDP, Niger state.
The motion which was signed by
other 60 members and titled:
‘IMPUNITY AND DISREGARD TO THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL
REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA,1999 (AS
AMENDED) BY THE NIGERIAN
POLICE FORCE’.
Drama however started
immediately the motion was
announced on the floor of the
House as the sharp division
between the old bloc and new
bloc PDP reared its ugly face
again.
The old bloc tried to kill the
motion but with the heavy
support of the opposition the
splinter PDP carried the day.
