Police to drag Misau before Senate committee over bribe-for-promotion claim

The Nigeria Police Force has vowed to report Senator representing Bauchi Central in the National Assembly, Isah Hamma Misau, to the Senate Ethics and Privileges Committee for failing to provide proof of evidence for his allegation of bribe-for-promotion in the Force.
Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Jimoh Moshood, who stated this yesterday in Abuja, said the senator, having failed to respond to two invitation letters sent to him, leaves the Police with no option than to report him to the Committee for appropriate action.

According to him, “The Special Investigation Panel sent two invitation letters to Senator Isah Hamman Misau:
“(i) for him to meet with the Panel, was sent through the Senate President
“(ii) while, the other was written directly to him to provide evidence in written form to substantiate and shed light on his allegations and assist the panel to carry out a thorough and discreet investigation into the matter, but he declined and when some members of the panel visited him, he bluntly refused to make statement on his allegations.
“Senator Isah Hamman Misau, a distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, instead of proving his allegations with facts and other evidences to the Panel, granted another media interview captioned “Bribe for Promotion: Senator asks DSS to Probe Police, PSC.”
