The Inspector
General of Police (IG), Mr. Ibrahim Idris, has shunned the summons by the
Senate for the second time in one week.
He was expected
to appear at plenary Wednesday morning, but sent the Deputy Inspector General
of Police (DIG), Mr. Habila Josack, instead.
The senators however declined to admit Josack to represent the IG, Thisday reports.

The upper
legislative chamber had summoned Idris to appear over the maltreatment of
Senator Dino Melaye (Kogi APC), who was arrested by police last week, and to
also brief it over the renewed killings in Benue, Taraba and other parts of the
country.
Idris did not appear before the senators last Wednesday as he had accompanied President Muhammadu Buhari to Bauchi on a state visit.
