The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, on Wednesday finally
appeared before a Senate committee probing corruption allegations
against him.
Mr. Idris, who had initially refused to appear before the committee
announced, after a meeting with President Muhamamdu Buhari last week,
that he had changed his mind.
On Wednesday, he was accompanied by his lawyer, Alex Iziyon, and
Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters, Ita
Enang, when he appeared before the committee at the National Assembly
chambers in Abuja.
The committee is investigating the allegations by a senator, Isa
Misau, that Mr. Idris mismanaged police fund, and was supervising
collection of bribe for promotion and transfer within the police;
allegations denied by the police chief.
