The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has been accused of extorting money, ranging from N10m to N15m, from Commissioners of Police, State Mobile Commanders and Special Protection Units (SPU) Commanders, for favorable postings.
IGP Idris also allegedly makes N10bn monthly from oil companies and other private individuals who enjoy special protection from the security agency.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Navy, Isah Hamma Misau, made these revelations on Friday, while addressing National Assembly Correspondents.
Misau said the level of corruption being perpetrated by the current Inspector-General of Police and the Chairman, Police Service Commission, IGP Mike Okiro (Rtd.), was so alarming and capable of undermining the anti-corruption stance of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“While the Police Service Commission could not deny the bribery allegation, information reaching me indicate that, even transfers of Commissioners of Police, State Mobile Commanders and SPU Commanders are also allegedly riddled in corruption.
“Some Commissioners of Police and State Mobile Commanders pay between N10m to N15m to get postings.
where is Charlyoldpapaboy to protest against Idris?
Icedprince1d: Veteran singer, Charly boy aka area fada is currently leading a peaceful protest in front of EFCC headquarters. The protest tagged #bringbackdiezani is calling for the repatriation of the former Minister of Petroleum Resources to Nigeria. She has been accused of committing monumental corruption while she was in office. Some of her properties have been permanently seized by the Federal government.
Charly oldpapaboy is now seeking for recommendation and favour from FG ,after miracly escaped been lynched in Abuja.I see him being political now because this move is to win the heart of Buhari.
CollinsWeGlobe: Any youth that will insult Charley Boy (Area Fada) on this thread. May god of thunder strike that person.
I reject it and counsel it. Any one who will support this protest and will not call for the arrest and resign of buratai for buying house in dubai may God wrath fall on them.
guterMann: Patriotism is not foist on citizens,the country gives them a sense of belonging to be patriotic.
Nobody preaches to Americans to be patriotic.
Unity is not something that is 'SETTLED AND NON-NEGOTIABLE'
Scotland thinks that being united with the UK is more favourable than being on their own,and they chose to be part of the UK through a referendum,the UK didn't force it on them.
Ride on umu Chineke. THE SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN.
wingmanII: Very correct observation. Those arewa youths declaration is more treasonable than anything Kanu and IPOB has done so far. They must be made to face the music unless this government cares less about a united, peaceful country.
perez100: If other tribes are as bold as Igbo and Ijaw and to some extent Akwa Ibom, Nigeria would not be taken for a ride by a section of the country. But Afonjas will be hiding and praying to their Ogun god and hoping for some regions to go down for them to expand and dominate beyond skull mining.
ogazi007: The Government need to be more decisive and tackle the politically motivated agitation/crises head-on.
Ohanaeze and Afenifere have lost relevance because they are partisan.How do you want to be taken seriously by this Government when they know you did not only campaigned for PDP in 2015 but also part of the groups that took huge sums of money from Gej and failed to returned him as the president.
At least Arewa youths have withdrew the quit notice,while Kanu on the other hand keeps preaching hates and inciting violence.Threatening to crumble a sovereign nation,kill people and sounding like a broken record.This can only happen in Nigeria.

amjoseph19: For once in Nigeria, Ohaneze ndi spoke well in that their speech. We all should rule Nigeria together, No tribe should see themselves are the sole landlord. The South South are getting to their senses while my brothers in the West are still being afraid as usual. It is high time the South get together are challenge this people, but I doubt if that will ever happen.
NaijaMutant: You defended Boko Haram by saying any attack on Boko Haram is an attack against the north.
You defended Fulani herdsmen terrorists without condemning their actions.
You also defended your Arewa youths with their ultimatum.
But you want us to ostracize our son who has not harmed a single soul, whose only crime was Agitating for the betterment of his people of which we shall be beneficiaries.
Mr unongo ,shut up your silly ass like mouth.where were you when many northern elders including Emirs and some northern politicians made open declaration of of support to the northern youths? you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to claim to be one with the northerners.See how they are daily killing your people,you are a typical buffoon
Bolustical: If these different splinter agitating groups can make life unbearable for their governors by demanding good governance and efficient service delivery, the Niger would have since been the region to beat.
If the agitators are sincere, they should have truly known that an average Hausa/Yoruba man isn't their problems but the likes of Ibori, Igbinedion, Uduaghan, GEJ and wife among many others who robbed them blind.
then the yorubas and hausas that have oil blocks and well their have blessed them,right? Just look at the case of yoruba woman,folurunsho Alakija,who was a mistress under IBB became overnight millionaire because IBB dashed her oil well and blocs in the niger delta ,while the niger deltans have no access to oil well.who is cheating who?
ruggedised: this country don tire me, funny enough when the wahala set, our political looters will relocate their families abroad while we who are still struggling will be left to fight for them. When the war is over, they will come back like kings and Queen and we the slave fighters are left to start all over again may God punish my ancestors for bringing me to this country
but your ancestors are gone,it's left to you to liberate yourself from slavery.
don't mind the illiterates,their plans to use the killing of the Igbos in the north to remove Osinbanjo failed as buhari returns,now they try to fool themselves that they have withdrawn their quit notice.were they not denying of the quit notice before,saying that the media quoted them out of contest? I only blame the yorubas that I licking their ass,hence giving them the moral to act as if they are almighty Jehovah.
DocHMD: Mr Ewedu-Abooki hybrid, like Kanu's lawyer rightfully said, the main essence of Bail is to ENSURE THE DEFENDANT DOES NOT RUN AWAY FROM THE COURT not trample on his fundamental right to associate and express himself. Heck, he was not even declared wanted before he came down here from London.
Now a sensible court will ask- Has the bail failed to ensure Kanu is around to face the charges levelled against him? No
Who is running away from the court and using delay tactics? The Fulani-run FG.
Has the Bail achieved it fundamental and primary aim of keeping Kanu within the reach of the court? Yes!
The court will also ask- Is there any need to arrest someone who is ready to come to court 10 times a day if you ask him to? No!
Now you see you pro-abooki illiterates and your presidiot got it all wrong when you thought you were dealing cretins such as you lots in this matter.
IPOB will keep making you lots look like real 'dogs and baboons' as your presidiot described you before you rigged him into power with child voters in the north.
nwaanambra1:
in as much i don't support kanu and his ways of agitation - the fact still remains that the buhari led federal government is beginning to openly insult us igbos!
let it be know that so long as the arewa youths are still walking free after their treasonable and genocidal threat on the Igbos, any attempt to arrest Nnamdi Kanu will be seen as an act of war on the Igbos and it will surely push majority of us that are against Kanu to be his full supporters!
The Federal government should understand that this is no 1967 - this time the war will surely touch every part of Nigeria - even if u r in sambisa!
THE NORTH SEEMS NOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE IGBOS CANNOT AND WILL NEVER BE AFRAID OF THEM NOR ASSLICK THEM.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD TREAD WITH CAUTION. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH angry
hammerT: U release Boko Haram Commanders, u cannot arrest Arewa Youth for ordering genocide against Igbos.
U cannot arrest Libyan HausaFulani Herdsmen.
Yet u want Court to go and arrest a person the same court have declared not guilty.

Lajet: So the video we all saw on online when Arewa youth gave the Quit notice is fake is that what the Federal Government is trying to tell us. And if Arewa youth was quoted out of context so why are they withdrawing the Quit notice. This is the kind of one Nigeria some pigs are forcing us to be part of. We have first class and second class citizen in Nigeria
kettykin: The United Nation should as a matter of urgency stop barking and start biting, if it means rolling out united nations military troops to guarantee the safety andbpeace of ipob and their leader then so be it. Why must Igbo's keep suffering genocidal killing in the North
Marcelo290: rearresting Kanu would be the last straw that would break the Camel's back in this fragile and tension filled country.
