The Inspector General of Police,
Ibrahim Kpotun Idris, has come under attack by Nigerians over his refusal to
honour the Upper Chambers’ invitation for the second time over the killings in
the country.
Recall that for the
second time on Wednesday, Mr Idris failed to honour the invitation to appear
before the Senate.
Idris was,however, represented by
the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Joshak Habila while he was said to be
in Kaduna on an official assignment.
Saraki had said the senate would
not condole Idris’ absence as no IGP has ever snubbed the Senate’s summon since
Nigeria returned to democracy.
However, Some Nigerians found
IGP’s alleged refusal to appear before the senate as appalling, owing to the
incessant killings being experienced in the country.
They described the situation as
an insult on the legislative arm of government.
Here are some comments gathered from Twitter:
@joshuathegrea, “Hmmmmm. As a
good citizen of Nigeria, if I were you, l will tell the IG to first honour the
invitation of the Nigeria Senate before mine. This is best described as insult
to the Legislative arm of Govt. Let’s move Nigeria forward. Security matter
should be prioritized .”
@strong_truth “Their time is
limited & their judgement is so close & day of reckoning is just around
the corner.”
@DrRitzy “And he didn’t honour
@NGRSenate invitation for the second time. obviously a slap on our democracy.”
@ApostleDavidOdi “The IG
@PoliceNG preferred a useless private visit to a second invitation by the
Senate.”
@simmyu “I’m sure you know, your
IG is just playing hide and seek with your NASS, he doesn’t want to honour
their invitation therefore he looks for all the flimsy excuses in the world to
hold onto. Street smartness, can only work in a country like Nigeria.”
@anche_76803 “He is in Kaduna to
intimidate your perceived enemies. To intimidate your critics, to get the
service address of your critics for easy arrest.”
