The Senate panel yesterday threatened to issue warrant of arrest against the Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris.
The committee is unhappy over refusal by the IGP to appear before it over allegations levelled against him by Senator Isah Hamma Misau.
The IGP was to appear before the Senate ad-hoc committee yesterday.
The committee chaired by the Deputy chief whip, Francis Alimikhena (APC, Edo) had summoned the IGP to defend himself on Misau’s allegations.
Daily Trust reports that the Senate probe was sequel to allegations of corruption, bribery, misconduct and illegal virement of the 2016 budget levelled by Misau against the IGP.
Speaking at the venue of the investigative hearing, Alimikhena said the panel would be forced to invoke section 89 of the Constitution against the IGP, if he did not honour their invitation next Tuesday.
