Nigeria Police has asked Senator Isa Hamman Misau to return to service because he did not legitimately resign from service. Senator Misau has been declared wanted by the nation’s Police Force for alleged forgery and desertion from service.Nigeria Police insists that Misau is still a Policeman.
Misau is currently representing Bauchi Central in the National Assembly.The Grassroots Publishers online recalls that Misau on Friday, condemned “series of fraudulent practices in the running of the Nigerian Police.”
While addressing newsmen at the National Assembly, Misau, a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) alleged that a high level corruption pervades the Force especially in the handling of monies allegedly being collected by the police as payment for special security services rendered by the Police to corporate bodies, oil firms and highly placed citizens in the country.
But the Police spokesman, CSP Jimoh Moshood has asked the general public and indeed the Senate to dismiss statements credited to Misau, saying everything he said about the IGP and the Police were false.
According to Moshood, Sen Misau is “a habitual and unrepentant liar.
“His real name in the Police is DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman, with Police number AP No. 57300. He is still a Police Officer and not a Senator because his name is still in the Police Service.
“Senate will do the nation good by asking him to return to the Nigeria Police Force to face disciplinary committee and answer all the charges bordering on serious misconduct, unprofessional wrong doings as earlier contained in our press statement released today. “We want the public to know that he is not fit and proper to be a Senator of the federal republic of Nigeria; because that purported retirement letter he displayed today was forged.
“That his forged letter is dated 2014, whereas he contested the 2011 general election. He is wanted by the force for forgery and desertion which are all criminal offences in the Nigeria law books.
“All DSP Hamman was saying were cheap blackmail, distraction and deliberate acts to derail investigation. So the force will want the Senate Ethics and Privileges committee which we have confidence and trust into see reason to ask him to dress up in his police uniform to come and appear before police disciplinary committee to answer charges against him.
“The IGP has no use to distractions DSP Hamman is instituting before the public, and no matter the position any person is, once he or she runs foul of the law, he will be made to answer the charges,” he stated.
