House of Reps pass vote of no confidence on IGP Idris Ibrahim, demand his resignation

The House of Representatives today passed a vote of no confidence on the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris. The lawmakers passed their vote while deliberating on the repeated killings in Benue state. The lawmakers called on President Buhari to immediately fire the police chief and replace him with a more professional police officer.


While raising the motion, Danburam Nuhu, from Kano state, drew the attention of the lawmakers to the “complicity” of the Nigeria police in the political clashes between supporters of the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje and the past governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Nuhu described as “unfortunate” the rising cases of thuggery in the state, saying it is sponsored by some politicians.
