Reps Summons IGP Over Detained Lawmaker Abubakar Lado
The House of Representatives has given the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, twelve hours to release the member representing Suleja federal constituency, Abubakar Lado.
The legislators described the arrest and detention as a violation of the Nigeria constitution. They said the arrest is a slap on the institution of government and also a breach of the lawmaker’s rights.
After an exhaustive debate, the lawmakers resolved that the IGP should appear before the House to explain the rationale behind Lado’s incarceration.
The House is also to take legal action against the police on behalf of Lado
