Why I didn’t appear before Senate- IGP
The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to media publication credited to one Sen.
It said: "Let it be known that the IGP by trying to reduce the reason for his invitation by the Senate to the arrest of Senator Dino Melaye is simply holding on to the straw".
He said the Police IG is only "afraid of his shadows", else he wouldn't be scared of appearing before the upper legislative chamber to address issues raised by the Senate on the security challenges facing the country.
"While normalcy have been restored in most of the affected areas, hundreds of suspects directly responsible for these dastardly acts have been arrested and are being prosecuted in the affected states".
According to him, over 5000 prohibited firearms have been recovered across the federation in the ongoing mop-up operation. The release is speculative and not supported by any fact. Office of the Senate President does not receive or process security report from State commands,"he said".
He added: "The IGP definitely should not have any problem with an invitation to tell the Senate what he and his men are doing to stop the killings as well as their challenges and needs". He said: "I don't think the Senate of Nigeria has the constitutional power to declare the IGP unfit to hold the office". It is for the objective of having a transparent and open hearing that we fixed his appearance for Wednesday when our plenary sitting enjoys the live coverage on national television.

The Force spokesman stressed further that the Nigeria Police Force holds the Red Chamber in high esteem and regards.
"The Police Force owes no apology to any individual or groups in its effort to ensure preservation of law and order, supremacy of the law of the land, and make sure that all Nigerians are subject to the same law, no matter what their positions are in the society", he said.
It is incumbent on the Force to educate Sen. A statement spurned by the Nigeria Police and some lawyers, like Falana who interpreted section 67 sub section 2 in favor of Idris. Copies of the two invitation letters are attached for clarity and public information. He later said the invitation was a "deliberate blackmail, witch-hunting with mischievous motives to hand-twist him to pervert the end of justice in a felonious and serious offenses relating to Senator Dino Melaye". The pinch emphasis on security matters in the invitation letters was diversionary to attract undeserved public sympathy in the Senate's desperate bid to trivialize and water down the crime and criminal liabilities for which Senator Dino Melaye is standing trial.
The IGP was invited on the April 25 to appear on April 26. "These are people - the whole Senate - who would adjourn sitting and go to the Code of Conduct Tribunal in solidarity with their President".
On all three occasions Idris sent Deputy Inspector General (Operations) Mr. Habila Joshack to represent him.
