Police Drags Senate To Court On Igp Matter by bbmate: 8:52pm On May 11, 2018 |
Police drags Senate to court over IG
invitation, gives reasons why he can't be
invited again.
- Nigerian Senate has now been dragged to court by
the police
- The inspector general of police has refused to
personally honour the Senate's summon over alleged
ill treatment of Senator Dino Melaye
- Senators, according to the police, were taking the
matter of Dino Melaye too personal
The police have dragged Nigerian Senate to court
to determine if the inspector general of police, as
a matter of law, must always appear in person
each time the upper chamber invites him.
According to the police, the Senate can no longer
invite the inspector general again until the court
decides on their prayers.
Mr David Igbodo, commissioner of police, legal
department of the force headquarters, disclosed
this on Sunrise Daily, a programme on channels
TV.
The police was reacting to the recent declaration
by the Senate that inspector general of police
was an enemy of democracy and unfit to hold
public office. He also accused the Senate of taking the issue of invitation of the IGP very personal "That declaration that the inspector general of police is an enemy of democracy and unfit to hold office is laughable. They have no power to make such declaration," Igbodo said. Going further, he said that: "The inspector general of police was invited on the 25th to appear on the 26th and unfortunately he was in Bauchi state with the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He sent a DIG to represent him and when the DIG got to the national assembly, the lawmakers said no. They requested for a brief and the inspector general prepared a brief and gave the brief to the DIG to brief the national assembly on the issue pertaining to Senator Dino Melaye and still, they rejected it, insisting that they want to see the inspector general of police in person." Channels Television Police Files Court Case Against The National Assembly. "At this point, a constitutions issue has arisen, so the inspector general of police said, ok, fine, let us go to court to let the court decide weather he must as a matter of law appear in person each time the national assembly invites him or whether he can exercise his power of delegation under the law and police acts and regulations. "So we are in court. We posed five questions and seven prayers. And until the court decides that, the national assemble has no power to invite the inspector general of police ," he added. Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had reported that the inspector general of police, Ibrahim Idris, responded to the Senate for describing him as an enemy of democracy after he failed to appear before it. Idris in a statement via police spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, on Wednesday, May 9, accused the Senate of trying to blackmail him. He said he was on an official assignment when he was invited by the Senate and duly asked senior ranking officers to represent him as constitutionally stipulated. 2 Likes
