IBRAHIM K. Idris, inspector general of Police, IGP, has set up special investigation panel to investigate complaints and allegations credited to Isah Hamma Misau, chairman of the Senate Committee on Navy, as reported in The Daily Trust of August 10, 2017 in which the senator alleged that Police officers paid bribe for special promotion.

Consequently the special investigation panel has invited Misau to a meeting to shed more lights and provide more details to the Panel so as to assist it to conduct a very discreet investigation into his complaints and allegations, and those of other aggrieved Police officers.

The Panel amongst other responsibilities has the following terms of reference:

To investigate the complaints from Senator Isah Hamma Misau on allegations that Police Officers pay bribe for special promotion; to investigate other complaints, petitions and grievances from Police Officers within the Force and from other members of the public on allegations of giving money for promotion, either special or otherwise; to determine the substance of the complaints, petitions and grievances from aggrieved Police Officers and members of the public on allegations of giving money for special promotion and to determine those who were involved; to recommend appropriate judicial action and other punishments as it is appropriate in line with the provisions of Public Service Rules Section 030401 (j) (k) and other statutory enabling laws/Acts.

The panel was mandated to submit its reports to the IGP within two weeks.

In any case, to ensure success of the investigation by the Panel, concerned Police Officers and members of the public are to use the following phone numbers, Whatapps and email to submit their petitions and complaints to the panel: 08054904443; 08035896648;       08181895582
