The SARS Commander Was Been Investigated For Rape -sahara Reporters(throwback) by Mgbadike80: 12:16pm On Oct 17, 2020 |
BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORK
AUG 26, 2016
Several senior and mid-level police
officers have provided
SaharaReporters with a list of grave
acts of corruption allegedly
committed by Inspector-General of
Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris. The
officers, some of them retired but
most still in active service, stated
that the IGP’s notoriety for
embezzlement of funds, frequent
abandonment of his post, and sexual
liaisons with subordinates preceded
his time as the Commissioner of
Police for Kano State. The
allegationsraise serious questions
about Mr. Idris’s fitness to lead the
police force in the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari with
its vow to build public trust in
institutions.
One of the most alarming allegations
against Mr. Idris relate to the
unlawful sale of thirty vehicles. “Idris
should be investigated on the
circumstances leading to the
disappearance of about 30 vehicles
which are known to have been
released to fictitious claimants,” one
serving police officer said.
The illicitly sold vehicles include a
Honda Accord, registration number
BP 529 KMC, sold to an Ahmed Sani
Mohammed of Kano State, a Honda
Civic, registration number BH 742
NSR, to an Ibrahim Jamilu of Kano
State, a Toyota Sienna, registration
number RBC 501 AM, to a Hajiya
Safiya Danlami of Kano State, a
Nissan Murano, with registration
number NSR 389 XV, to a Datti
Abubakar of Kano State, an
unregistered Honda Civic to Garba
Shehu of Kano State, and an
unregistered Toyota Matrix to a
Friday Kassimu also of Kano State.
According to our police sources,
other vehicles disposed of in shady
circumstances include an
unregistered Mercedes Benz, a
Volkswagen Golf 111, and a Toyota
Lexus Jeep.The sources disclosed
that the addresses associated with
the so-called buyers of the vehicles
are incomplete—often without street
numbers or phone number contacts.
The incomplete addresses have made
it impossible to authenticate the
identity of the buyers. “It is all part of
the IG’s ploy to conceal his
wrongdoing. We urge the Presidency
to order a probe into the so-called
sale of these cars. They will find that
the truth is that Idris acquired most,
if not all, those vehicles for himself,”
one senior police source said.
Police sources told our
correspondent that Mr. Idris was a
practiced hand at the selling of
public property for private profit.
They alleged that he played a key
role in the unlawful sale of police
property in Kano State outposts for
personal gain during the height of
the Boko Haram crisis.
Several police sources remarked on
Mr. Idris’s notoriety for sexual
relationships with his subordinates.
“In total disregard of police ethics,
the IG has been cohabitating with a
corporal named Amina,” one source
claimed. He added, “Amina wields a
lot of influence within the force.”
Another officer corroborated the
account. “Idris has the habit of
dismissing senior officers during
official hours to spend time with
Amina who even poses for
photographs in his office,” said the
source. The sources told
SaharaReporters that the IGP
transferred Amina to Abuja where she
is now living luxuriously in a hotel
and driven about in a Frontier Jeep—
all her expenses allegedly paid for by
Mr. Idris despite his meager public
servant salary.
Our sources alleged that Mr. Idris’s
extravagant lifestyle extends to the
United States where he has a
spouse, a woman he met while on a
peacekeeping mission in Liberia. The
US-based wife, Maria Idris, is of
Liberian descent, and reportedly has
two children for the IGP. Our sources
said Mr. Idris has been supporting
his US-based wife, questioning how
he can afford such expenses on his
police salary.
“The IG’s maintenance of a family in
faraway America is repeatedly
discussed by fellow officers. We
wonder howhas been able to pay for
the expenses of his second family in
the US,” one source told
SaharaReporters.
Other police sources said they were
dismayed that President Buhari
chose a man as IGP who lacks
operational expertise and courage.
One officer alleged that, as the
Commissioner of Police in Kano, Mr.
Idris locked himself inside a toilet for
hours during an attack by Islamist
insurgents belonging to Boko Haram
in Kano. “During a Boko Haram raid
in 2012, the then Commissioner of
Police [Mr. Idris] locked himself in
the toilet for hours at the State Police
Command Headquarters,” said the
source. He added that Mr. Idris’s
hiding allowed Boko Haram fighters
to move through Kano unimpeded,
killing men, women and children as
well as police officers.
Several officers contrasted Mr. Idris’s
cowardice with the bravery displayed
in Borno State by the Commissioner
of Police, Simeon Midenda. They said
Mr. Midenda joined some agents of
the Department of State Security
(DSS) in a fierce battle with Boko
Haram insurgents. They added that
Mr. Midenda’s efforts led to the
killing of numerous Boko Haram
insurgents.
Our police sources also accused Mr.
Idris of naked nepotism in making
top appointments. They said the
IGP’s questionable appointments
included that of CSP Kolo to head the
Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Our sources said Mr. Kolo had been
accused of raping a woman. They
added that Mr. Kolo was never
seriously investigated for the alleged
rape, adding, “We demand that the
then AIG in charge, Alhaji Tambari
Yabobe, be mandated to produce the
case file and to explain why the
matter was swept under the carpet.”
Our sources, including a member of a
watchdog group, also accused Mr.
Idris of leading a crop of officers
who carried out extrajudicial killings
in Kano State during a period of
assaults by Islamist terrorists.
SaharaReporters repeatedly reached
out to Mr. Idris for comment on
these allegations. However, he
declined to take our calls and did not
respond to text messages.
SaharaReporters spoke to one of Mr.
Idris’s deputies who said the IG was
in a meeting and would return our
call afterwards. Mr. Idris never rang
back.
