Just a month after Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Kpotum Idris had warned that officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) caught in the act of bribery and corruption would be thrown out of the Force, the latter has been accused of corruption by a former Police officer.

In July, while addressing Deputy Inspector-Generals, Assistant Inspectors-General and Commissioners of Police at a conference at the force headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, IGP Idris had charged them to be civil in relating with members of the public and respect their socio-cultural values, adding that officers caught in the act of bribery and corruption would be thrown out of the force.

“The era of bribery and corrupt practices in the police circle was over. Any act of misconduct could throw you out of the force.

“Any senior police officer found to be engaged in corrupt practices will face the full wrath of the law and would be sanctioned appropriately,” those were the exact words of the IGP on Monday, July 31, 2017.

Probably when the IGP made that statement, he never knew he would have to face the music should he be found wanting.
Towards the end of July, a picture of the IGP holding “No To Corruption” went viral on the internet, the picture alone gave a strong warning against corrupt practices in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) as its number one man (IGP Idris) was believed to be against the act before the N120 billion bribery allegation by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Navy and Senator representing Bauchi Central, Isah Misau surfaced.

In August, Senator Misau alleged that IGP Idris collected an annual sum of about N120bn as payment for special security services rendered by the police to corporate organisations and very important personalities, adding that over 50,000 personnel involved in such act had not been benefitting from the money.

Misau, who is a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police, had also alleged that the special promotion of officers by the force was fraught with corruption, an allegation IGP Idris subsequently set a panel to investigate, which ALEDEH reported.

It's a government of "do what I say and not what I do".

What is this one saying?

Idris is the incompetent IGP in the history of Nigeria police force, from Solomon ARASE took 24 vehicle to MISAU did not retire before joining politics

I searched throughout the writeup for Idris's gaffe on Misau, but didn't find any such thing.

Op IGP didn't gaffe the matter was settled politically. Two of the people involved are from the area where there is no witch-hunting .
