The senate is currently in a
closed-door session with the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Ibrahim Idris.
Lawmakers are said to be grilling
the police boss over the alleged manhandling of Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye
during his arrest and detention by the police.
Idris, who arrived the National
Assembly was ushered into the senate chamber after it was closed to the public
at 11:07 am.
Following Melaye’s ordeal, the
senate had summoned Idris for questioning last week.
The police boss, however, shunned
the invitation, a situation leadership of the Upper Legislative chamber frowned
at.
Explaining why Idris had failed
to honour the invitation, Force spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood said the Police Act
and Regulation permits a senior officer of the rank of Deputy Inspector General
of Police and Assistant Inspector General of Police to represent the IGP in an
official capacity when permitted.
