Recall that NAIJ.com previously reported that the Nigerian Senate declared the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, an enemy of democracy following his refusal to honour an invitation to appear before the upper chamber for a third time.
The lawmakers during plenary on Wednesday, May 9, said Idris is not fit to hold public office in Nigeria and abroad.
This was after the IG of Police failed to honour an invitation to appear before the Senate for the third time. The police boss who was first summoned on April 25 was invited to answer questions on the arrest of senator Dino Melaye, and killings across the country but, he sent a representative instead.
