IGP Ibrahim Idris Reacts to Allegations of Dating Junior Police Officers

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, has reacted to accusations that he has had affairs with two junior female officers who also got questionable promotions as a result by saying there is no law in Nigeria that prevents him from marrying a serving female police officer.
 
You recall the lawmaker representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Senator Isa Misau, accused Mr. Ibrahim Idris of sleeping with 2 serving police officers and allegedly impregnated one.

Idris stated his reply in a written defence he presented through his lawyer, Dr. Alex Iziyon (SAN), to the Senate ad-hoc committee investigating the allegations against him by the senator.

 PUNCH reports they obtained a copy of the written defence, in which the allegations against the IG were listed in six categories and responded to. Their report below:

On the allegation that Idris was having affairs with two female officers who also got questionable promotions as a result, Idris specifically asked Senator Misau to cite a section of the law that prevents him from having romantic relationship with a policewoman.

The police boss recalled that Misau’s father married the lawmaker’s mother while in service.

Iziyon said:

“This allegation is laughable and showed lack of understanding of the provisions of the Police Act and regulation.”

“Until he brings such section of the Police Act (that forbids a police officer from marrying another police officer), it will amount to discussing the Inspector-General of Police’s private life, which ordinarily should not have been entertained on the floor of the Senate.

“It might be appropriate to remind the senator, whose mother retired from the police as an Inspector of Police and a father who retired from the police as an Assistant Inspector-General of Police, that the Inspector-General of Police is a Moslem and, according to Islamic Law, can marry four wives provided he can love them equally.

“The senator also alleged that the Inspector-General of Police is in a relationship with one Corporal Amina whom he claimed was promoted from the rank of Corporal to an Assistant Superintendent of Police within 12 months.

“This allegation is false and the senator is under obligation to give the full particulars of the female police (officer), where she is serving and her duty post. It is not possible to promote a corporal to the rank of an ASP except the officer has attended an in-service cadet course.”

The IG, who earlier declined the committee’s invitation due to pending court cases over the matter, appeared before the Senate panel on Wednesday, accompanied by Iziyon; and the Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang.
