House Committee members walk out on IGP after he refers to the Speaker as 'one Alhaji Tambuwal"
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."
His reference to the “Speaker of the House as “one Alhaji Tambuwal” made the committee members mad.
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.
