FG Files Fraud Charges Against Senator Misau by khadaffi(m): 7:40pm On Oct 11, 2017 |
By Anthony Ogbonna 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 Honourable Court, did make a false statement of fact to wit: that 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. “That you, Isah Hamman Misau of Hamman Misau Residence, Turaki Street, Misau, Bauchi State, on or about October 5, 2017, at Abuja and other part of Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did make a false statement of factto wit: that 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 why you see people of dubious character with sirens in the country which said false statement of fact was aired in the Channels Television programme tagged ‘Politics Today’ on August 27, 2017, and published in the Daily Trust Newspaper dated October 5, 2017, knowing that such false statement of fact would harm the reputation of Mr. Ibrahim Kpotun Idris (the serving Inspector- General of Police), the Nigeria Police “That you, lsah Hamman Misau of Hamman Misau Residence, Turaki Street, Misau, Bauchi State on or about January 28, 2011 at Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did utter a false document to wit: Affidavit in Support of Personal Particulars of Persons seeking election to the Office/Membership of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (INEC FORM C.F. 001/2011) which you submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission knowing it to be false and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(2)(c) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act Cap M17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and punishable under the same section of the Act. “That you, Isah Hamman Misau of Hamman Misau Residence, Turaki Street, Misau, Bauchi State, on or about December 16, 2014, at Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did utter a false document to wit: Affidavit in Support of Personal Particulars of Persons seeking election to the Office/Membership of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (INEC FORM C.F. 001/2015) which you submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission knowing it to be false and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(2)(c) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act Cap M17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and punishable under the same section of the Act. “That you, Isah Hamman Misau of Hamman Misau Residence, Turaki Street, Misau, Bauchi State, on or about December 15, 2014, at the Independent National Electoral Commission Headquarters, Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did utter a false document to wit: a Statutory Declaration of Age deposed to at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on December 15, 2014, by submitting same to the Independent National Electoral Commission knowing it to be false and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(2)(c) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act Cap M17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and punishable under the same section of the Act.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/10/just-in-fg-files-fraud-charges-against-senator-misau/

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. 2 Likes |
