The House of Representatives on Thursday threatened to issue a bench warrant for the arrest of the Inspector General of Police (I-G), Ibrahim Idris if he fails to appear before its Committee on Police Affairs on Jan. 19.

This followed the adoption of a motion moved by Rep. Gabriel Onyenwife who condemned the continuous refusal of the I-G to honour invitations of the Committee.

The Committee is investigating alleged violation of the 2016 Appropriation Act by the Nigerian Police Force.

Moving the motion, Onyenwife noted that the I-G had failed to appear before the Committee to explain why the force diverted N1.2 billion approved for the purchase of 10 armoured personnel carriers.

He said that instead of using the approved sum to purchase the said carriers, the money was rather used for the purchase of 64 Toyota Hiace Commuter vehicles, without the approval of the National Assembly.

He also said that N6billion was appropriated in the same act for rehabilitation of 102 police stations nationwide, but the amount was diverted for other uses.

“These infractions of the Appropriation Act 2016, the Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007, and the Public Procurement Act 2007, are just two of the several infractions committed by the Nigeria Police Force in the course of implementation of the budget,’’ Onyenwife said.

According to him, the Committee on Police Affairs invited the I-G on Dec. 6, 2016 and Dec. 13, 2016 in his capacity as the Chief Executive and Accounting Officer of the Force to explain or justify these perceived infractions.

“But he failed or refused to honour the invitations or justify his failure or refusal to attend.’’ Onyenwife stated.

The House, therefore, resolved to summon the I-G to appear before the Committee unfailing on Thursday Jan. 19. 2017, to justify the said infractions of the Appropriation Act 2016.

Silly corrupt house of rep. Why did u not issue arrest for Farouk lawan?? Oloshi. Mtscheeeew

Eh eh, which one is nairanaija news again? In as much as the news might be credible enough, I think I might subscribe to the IDGAF crews' policy on this cos to me, the naira before the naija in the domain name makes it worthless just as the value of naira now. Would have given a hoot if it was dollarnaija.

But DSS are under the police force,they may have a director just the way SARS do but they are all govern by the police law.

Everyone individual is bigger than Nigeria. #SAD

Most times I laugh at the stupidity of our Legislators. Well, I reserve my comment. Waiting to see them arrest him with civil defence.

The IGP na Buhari and him brothers best friend na. He doesn't need to justify his actions to anyone because he has the President on his side.

I sorry for the police men wey go arrest the IGP sha, The IGP will deal with them like Buhari is dealing with Dasuki now.
