The International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR) has written to President Bola Tinubu asking him to order the investigation and prosecution of two former Inspectors General of Police, Solomon Arase, and Ibrahim Idris, and other persons involved in an alleged illegal sale of lands designated for police barracks.
The media organisation also asked the president to suspend Mr Arase as the Chairperson of the Police Service Commission (PSC) to pave the way for an independent investigation of abuse of office and corruption against him “as contained in this petition and the ICIR investigative report.”
“We write this letter to seek refuge from Your Excellency from the acts of intimidation and threat to the life of personnel of the ICIR carried out by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun and the Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PS), Mr Solomon Arase,” the Executive Director of the ICIR, Dayo Aiyetan, wrote in the letter, a copy of which this newspaper obtained.
