Senate President Bukola Saraki has lamented the failure of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to show up for security briefing on the killings across the country.
In a post on his verified Twitter handle, the senate president stated that the IGP’s absence is a threat to democracy.
The Upper legislative chambers had invited Idris to come and brief it on the killings in the country, but, for the second time in less than a week, Idris declined to make physical appearance.
Last Thursday when he was supposed to appear before the Senate, he sent a Deputy IG, Joshak Habila, and went on a state visit with President Buhari to Bauchi.
The Senate refused to entertain Habila, insisting on having the IG.
On Wednesday (today), Idris sent Habila again, but the lawmakers condemned the action, saying it could jeopardise democracy.
