IGP shuns Senate invitation over Melaye’s arrest, herdsmen killings

The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has failed to appear before the Senate over the arrest and detention of Senator Dino Melaye and the killings across Nigeria.

The Police boss was, however, said to have accompanied President Muhammadu Buhari on a state visit to Bauchi State.

The Senate had, on Wednesday, summoned the IGP to appear in the chamber to address the lawmakers in plenary on Thursday (yesterday).

However, the lawmakers asked that the IGP’s appearance be rescheduled to next Wednesday.
