Misau says IGP is dating female officers

Senator Isa Misau has accused the inspector general of Police, Ibrahim Idris of having sexual relationship with two female police officers.

Speaking on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, Misau said the IGP recently tied the knot with one of the female officers who he allegedly impregnated.

The lawmaker accused Idris of awarding special promotions to the female officers and ‘his boys’.

“The IG is openly having two relationships with police women which he gave special promotion,” Misau began.

He continued: “One of them is Amina and one of them is DSP Esther which the IG on 15th of last month got married to that woman DSP. Under police act and regulation, you cannot marry as serving woman police unless that woman retire.

“He quickly did a secret wedding in Kaduna because the lady is four months pregnant. I am saying this because of the institution - that institution; I am supposed to be a stakeholder in that institution. It is the institution that brought me here which I'm proud of.

“There are serving police officers who are now demoralized because of the activities of the office of the IGP. Mr President, even when it comes to appointment, the IG decided to have his own boys who are just assistant commissioner of police, he will give them special promotion.

"He will give them deputy commissioner of police he won't spend three months or six months he will just give them acting commissioners of police," he added.

Misau stated that the police boss has not made any meaningful contribution to the force since his appointment.

“Sometimes I laugh when I see the IG celebrating that he has arrested Evans, Evans was operating in Lagos openly until when he kidnapped somebody who jumped into somebody's house and went to report. This is an achievement of IG? This cannot be achievement of the IG. Even an ordinary person can do that,” he said.

Misau recently accused the IGP of pocketing N10 billion illicit funds monthly.
