The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, has demanded an order of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory restraining the Senate Committee for the investigation of allegations against him from hearing or taking a decision.

IGP Idris also wants the court to restrain the Senate President and the entire Senate from receiving and discussing any report submitted to it by the committee set up to investigate the allegations against him.
The fundamental rights enforcement suit, which was filed yesterday by his lawyers Charles Ogoli, Emmanuel Anene and Solomon Ayangkong Ikongshul, joined Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as respondents.
The IGP stated that one Senator Isa Misau, while raising a matter of urgent national importance between September and October 2017 accused him of mounting roadblocks across Nigeria with the purpose of extorting money from unsuspecting motorists.
He also stated that the said senator in the motion, also accused him of collecting illegal fees by way of security protection given to corporate organisations, eminent citizens and oil companies running into billions of naira.
Idris also stated that Misau accused him of having “unwholesome relationship with female officers in the force.”
He stated further that, “Without the 1st Respondent having regard to the relevant constitutional requirements in respect of the 2nd Respondent’s role in investigations of allegations, he in reaction to these frivolous allegations quickly constituted a committee consisting members of the 2nd Respondent to look into the matter.”
No date for the hearing of the suit.
