Reno Omokri, a renowned social media activist and former presidential aide, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for failing to fire Inspector General of Police Usman Alkali Baba.
He believes the IGP should have been fired when the suspended officer, Abba Kyari, was seen at his (Usman’s) son’s wedding two weeks ago.
Remember that the suspended former chief of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team attended the wedding Fatiha of Alkali Baba’s son, Maina Alkali.
It was Kyari’s first public appearance since the outcry that greeted his Facebook post on August 4, 2021, during his dubious relationship with suspected online scammer, Hushpuppi.
As Nigerians were yet to come to terms with issues of his link with Hushpuppi, the former ‘super cop’ is currently in detention for his alleged links with a powerful drug cartel.
Recall that former Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos, despite resigning suddenly amid allegations of corruption during the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Omokri believes that is how those found wanting in public offices should be treated, calling on Buhari to take a decisive action.
“If Buhari had any shame, by now the IGP would have been out of a job for hosting a then suspended Abba Kyari at his son’s wedding 2 weeks ago,” he tweeted.
Sharing a picture of Tafa Balogun in handcuffs, he added, “This is Obasanjo’s IGP in handcuffs. That is how to fight corruption. Not hosting a known criminal cop at your IGP’s home!
“Exactly 2 weeks to the day he was declared wanted by the NDLEA, Abba Kyari was a guest of the IGP at his son’s wedding.
“A man that was meant to be under suspension? It is not only Abba Kyari that should be answering questions. The IGP has serious questions to answer.”
