Senate summons IGP over Benue killings

The Senate on Wednesday, summoned the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Ibrahim Idris, to appear before its Senate committees on Police Affairs and National Intelligence, following the former’s failure to implement the resolution of the Red Chamber.

President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, while making the pronouncement, said the IGP must appear before the joint committee on Thursday. He said the issue will not be swept under the carpet.

The IGP is being summoned to explain why he refused to implement a resolution that perpetuators of the massacre in Benue State were yet to be arrested.

The Senate a fortnight ago, gave marching orders to the IGP to, within two weeks, arrest these perpetrators. The ultimatum expired on Tuesday and no arrest has been made.
