Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker of House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, on Monday afternoon reported to President Muhammadu Buhari their grievances against the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, over the ill-treatment being meted to Senator Dino Melaye.
The two National Assembly leaders, who arrived the Aso Rock in same car to meet with Buhari, barely two hours after arrived Abuja from his home state of Katsina, where he had participated in the ward congress of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Emerging from the closed-door meeting, the duo said that the President invited them over to discuss with them his recent visit to the United States of America, the passage of the 2018 Budget, and the invasion of the National Assembly by thugs, but they used the opportunity to complain to him their reservations about the IGP, who has shunned the lawmakers’ summons to appear before them.
They appealed to the President to make officers of the executive arm of government operate within the bounds of law in their actions.
Melaye, who represents Kogi West Senatorial Zone, had been accused of gun-running and later, attempted suicide, by the police, which eventually arrested him, confined him to hospital and later stretchered him to two different courts to face the charges.
