The Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris seems to be in muddy water as the Senate is moving to set up a panel that will look into allegations of sexual assault and misconduct levelled against him.

This follows a motion by the lawmaker representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Senator Isa Misau, for the Senate to probe the IGP over alleged corrupt practices and misconduct in his place of duty.

Misau, while raising a point of order at the plenary on Wednesday, reiterated his earlier allegations against Idris, including the IGP’s recent alleged “secret” marriage to a serving policewoman against the public service rule.

The lawmaker had recently alleged that the police was collecting about N120bn annually from corporate organisations and ‘very important personalities’ for security services, an allegation he made again on the floor of the Senate.

Misau urged the Senate to set up and ad hoc committee to investigate his allegations against Idris, saying that he would provide documentary evidence before the panel.

While the request was approved by the lawmakers, President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, said members of the panel would be announced later in the day.
