Federal government is alleged to be in search of a new replacement of the inspector general of police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris.
According to report, President Muhammadu Buhari is worried over the recent corruption allegations levelled against Ibrahim Idris and so has ordered for a discreet screening of the top police officers for a possible replacement of the IGP.
Among the allegations of corruption levelled against the police boss are the one levelled by Senator Isah Hamman Misau, some serving police officers, as well as some lawyers, Independent reports.
According to the media outlet, Idris is also accused of being sectional in the discharge of his national duty.
It further reported that some of the petitions have been forwarded to President Buhari and to the anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Quoting a source, Independent reports that the EFCC has commenced discreet investigation into the allegations: “Though the presidency is yet to officially refer the case to us, we are already investigating the allegations based on petitions already with us.”
Idris was also alleged to have allowed one Barrister Emma, a civilian who lives in Lagos to wield so much power and with unrestrained access to the IGP’s office on 7th floor, media outlet reports.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, October 12, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, filed a suit before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Abuja.
He was seeking an order restraining the Senate and Senate president Bukola Saraki from going ahead with their plan to investigate allegations of malpractices against him.
The IGP had denied the allegations against him, most of which were brought up by the lawmaker representing Bauchi Central senatorial district, Isah Misau.
