The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) have reacted to the Senate
declaration on Wednesday that its Inspector General , Ibrahim K. Idris,
conversely is the first defender of democracy, reports ITRealms.
The Senate, ITRealms
recalled had declared IGP Ibrahim Idris, as an ‘enemy of democracy’ who is
unfit to hold a public office.
But in a press statement endorsed Wednesday by the Force
Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, the police said the IGP is not as
claimed by Senate, rather he will never be an enemy of democracy, because “Police
is the first defender of democracy in Nigeria.”
“It is urgently imperative that the Nigeria Police Force
respond to this resolution of the Senate which is a deliberate blackmail,
witch-hunting, unfortunate and mischievous.
“It is important to correct the impression created in the
minds of the people from the Senate’s resolution that the IGP is not and will
not be an enemy to democracy.
“It is also of significant note to state that IGP Ibrahim K.
Idris has served meritoriously for above 10 years in the United Nations Peace
Keeping Operations in several countries unblemished. The Nigeria Police Force
is the first defender of Democracy and all democratic institutions in Nigeria
and will continue to do so,” the statement read in part.
