The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, on Monday ordered the withdrawal of all police offices attached to Very Important Persons, including political and public office holders nationwide, citing the security challenges facing the nation as his reasons.
Following the withdrawal of policemen attached to politicians, the senator representing Kogi West in the upper legislative chamber, Dino Melaye, on Monday evening condemned the order, claiming he was the target of the IGP’s directive.
He said on his twitter handle “withdrawal of police from VIP, I am the target. IGP wants to expose me so I can be killed. Having survived assassination attempt twice, I deserve police protection in a country where I’m a tax payer.”
