The Senate and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris are locked in a battle of wits. The Red Chamber accuses the police chief of disrespect for snubbing its summon. But the police feel otherwise.
The Nigeria Police Force now says it will be challenging the Senate’s declaration of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris as an enemy of democracy who is unfit to occupy any office in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.
The police chief has been invited thrice to the senate and on the three occassions, he sent a representative who was always rejected by the senate.
The Commissioner of Police (Legal), Force Headquarters, David Igbodo, while appearing on Channels Television today, said the police will be challenging the decision of the senate.
“That declaration, we are going to challenge it in court. We want the court to interpret whether each time the IGP is invited to appear before the National Assembly (NASS), whether he must, as a matter of fact, appear in person.”he said.
