IGP, Ibrahim IdrisThe Nigerian Police Force has said that the Senate, whose members invited the Inspector General of Police, Idris Ibrahim over series of killings across the country, is either ignorant of the global security practice or mischievous.
The NPF, in reaction to a media publication credited to the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Sabi Aliyu Abdullahi, that the Inspector General of Police should stop holding on to the straw on why he refused to comply with the invitation of the Senate for him to come, said that the Senate is misleading Nigerians.
In a series of tweets, the NPF said: “if the Senate is sincerely interested in knowing the strategies adopted by the Police in tackling the killings in the affected States, they would not have invited the IGP to speak on the strategies of the Force on National Television.
“The Senate’s action to cover the appearance of the IGP on National Television is against National Security, unconventional and it negates global security practice.
“Over Five Thousand (5000) prohibited firearms have been recovered from wrong hands across the Federation on the directives of the IGP in the mop-up operations currently ongoing throughout the Country.”
