House Committee Members this afternoon walked out on the
Inspector general of police, Sulaiman Abba, after he refused to address Speaker
Aminu Tambuwal properly when he appeared before the House of Representatives
Police Committee today after several days of ignoring their invitation
According to Sahara Reporters; while trying to explain why
his men invaded the National Assembly last week, the IGP said ‘they had
credible intelligence that some thugs had planned on causing mayhem at the
resumed sitting of the house.”
The IGP said ‘one
Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal led a group of thugs to overpower the security at the
first gate. A move he claimed led the police to lock down the second gate and
fire a canister of teargas.
His reference to the “Speaker of the House as “one Alhaji
Tambuwal” made the committee members mad. Continue…
They asked the IGP to properly address the speaker of the
house according to protocol but Mr Abba said the case of the speaker was in
court and as such he wouldn’t like to comment further on it.
The committee member refused to proceed with the hearing
until the IGP properly addressed the speaker. They said as long as he refuses
to do so, they too would no longer
recognize him as IG. They argued back and forth and the members walked out on
the IGP.
