National Assemby Summons IG Of Police Over Dino Melaye

The Senate has summoned the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris
to appear before the house by 11am tomorrow April 26th to brief the
house on why Senator Dino Melaye was maltreated by the police despite
his status as a federal lawmaker.
The resolution to summon the police chief was adopted following a
motion by Senator Samuel Anyanwu representing Imo East who lamented
that Senators are being treated like common criminals across Nigeria.
According to Senate President Bukola Saraki, all efforts by him to reach
the IG has been abortive as the police chief has refused to take his calls
in the last 48 hours.
The Senate adjourned abruptly for all senators to visit the National
Hospital were Senator Dino is under admission. Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Police Affairs, Senator Abu Ibrahim was also mandated to
ask the IGP to appear at plenary by 11am on Thursday.
