The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris, for the third time has failed to appear before the Nigerian Senate.
The Senate had invited him to appear at plenary to explain what the police is doing about the persistent killings of Nigerians in Benue, Zamfara and Taraba states, plus concerns over the alleged maltreatment of the Senator representing the Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Dino Melaye.
Having waited patiently for the IGP to come into the hallowed chamber to brief, the Senate leader stood and said that it was clear that the police boss was not around to brief the lawmakers, describing the situation as sad and unfortunate, adding that the Senate as an institution was at a cross road.
The Senate then went into a closed-door session to discuss the next action to be taken on the Police IG following a motion that they go into a closed door session.
