Police commission summons senator who accused IGP of bribery

The Police service commission has invited Isah Misau, senator
representing Bauchi central, to appear before a committee over the

money before he approves postings of commissioners and other
officers.

2014, containing the approval of his retirement from the force but
the police said the letter was “forged.” in a letter to senator

court and chairman of the special panel, on Wednesday said it
wanted to determine genuineness of “the two letters of retirement
supposed to have emanated from the Police Service Commission in
connection with this retirement.”
