BUHARI ANGRY WITH IGP OVER FAILURE TO RELOCATE TO BENUE, MAY BE FIRED

Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.

The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris on Tuesday, appeared at the Presidency for questioning over why he flouted the President’s order to him on 9^th January 2019 to relocate to Benue following the January 1 killings in the state.

IGP Ibrahim Idris was received by President Muhammadu Buhari in a private audience. However, no details of the meeting were disclosed as Idris left Aso Rock about half an hour later visibly troubled.

All efforts to get an official statement from him by newsmen who laid siege to the Villa, proved abortive as he shunned pressmen.

Recall that Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue State had told President Buhari that the Inspector-General failed to carry out an order given to him to relocate to Benue to personally oversee security in the state and forestall further security breaches.

In response, the President has admitted that he never knew that the IGP flouted the order but declined making any statement on what he intended to do about it.

Presidency sources hinted that the President felt very embarrassed and may deal decisively with the IGP any moment from now.

“Don’t be surprised to hear that the IGP has been sacked as the President is very crossed over Mr. Idris’s official misdemeanor. He may have decided to come hard on the IGP to send the right signal to all,” the source disclosed.
