Ibrahim Idris Was Invited For Dino Melaye’s Case – NPF

The Nigeria Police Force has alleged that the Inspector-General of Police ( I-GP), Mr Ibrahim Idris was invited by the Senate because of Sen. Dino Melaye and not the killings across the country as claimed.

The senate at plenary recently, declared the I-G as enemy of democracy and unfit to hold any public office within and outside the country for failing to honour its invitation thrice.

The senate had refused the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in-charge of operations and other senior police officers to represent the I-G when he was invited on April 26.

“The recent claim by the Senate that the reason for inviting the I-G is to brief them on the recent killings in some part of the Country is an afterthought which can be seen from the headings of their invitation letters”, ACP Jimoh Moshood, police spokesman said in Abuja on Saturday,

Moshood said that if the invitation was for him to brief the senate on strategies adopted in tackling killings in the country, it would not have been planned for a national television.

“The Senate’s action to cover the appearance of the I-G on National Television is against National Security, unconventional and it negates global security practice,”he said.

The spokesman said that the letter the senate wrote inviting the I-G clearly showed that the invitation was not about the killings but about Dino.
