IG SUMMONED BY PRESIDENT BUHARI

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday ‎summoned the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to a closed-door meeting.

The meeting held on Tuesday morning at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting held about 24 hours after Mr. Buhari told Benue leaders that he was not aware Mr. Idris disobeyed his directive to remain in Benue until the herdsmen and farmers conflict in the state was resolved, a statement that has given rise to calls for the sack of the police chief.

A number of people have been killed in the Benue violence since January 

Mr. Idris is believed to have explai‎ned himself to the president in the 30 minutes meeting.

The police chief did not address media after the meeting. 

But President Buhari according to Presidential sources demanded a full report on police operations, particularly in Benue, till date after which he will make further decisions.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President, Media Garba Shehu, confirmed the meeting but refused to disclose details.
