The Peoples Democratic Party has told the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration not to sweep under the carpet the allegation of fraud regarding an alleged N120 billion that has come into the coffers of the police during the tenure of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
The party said it was worried over the “deafening silence” on the side of the government on the allegation of corruption leveled against the police hierarchy by the Senator representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Isa Misau.
The party’s position on the issue was contained in a series of posts on its Twitter handle on Monday.
The PDP warned against any attempt to cover up the allegation, questioning the anti-corruption posture of the current administration.
It tweeted: “We are worried with the deafening silence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Nigeria-led federal government on the allegation of corruption against the Nigeria Police Inspector General by Senator Misau.
“The N120 billion fraud allegation against the Inspector General of Police is too weighty and the Police authority must pursue itself of this accusation.
“This allegation must not be swept under the carpet by the APC-led government like the ones against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu and others.
“The sudden realization that Senator Misau is a deserter further exposes the complicity of the Nigeria Police Force on this matter.
“The APC-led federal government cannot be said to be fighting corruption and at the same time, covering up corrupt officers.”
