#AnambraDecides: Senate Mandates IGP To Restore Obiano’s Security Details

The senate has asked Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police (IGP), to restore the security aides attached to Willie Obiano, governor of Anambra state.

On Tuesday, Obiano raised the alarm about the withdrawal of his security aides, describing it as a “sign of what will come in the coming day”.

But the IGP said the withdrawal was based on the previous experience whereby the military caught an ADC to an unnamed governor escorting a vehicle loaded with arms on election day.

“We do not mean anything bad to Anambra governor on this action; his ADC will be returned to him early Sunday morning after the governorship election on Saturday November 18,” Idris had said.

The resolution of senate asking the IGP to return the governor’s security aide was sequel to a motion sponsored by Biodun Olujimi, senator representing Ekiti south.

While moving the motion, Olujimi said the IGP’s action is “a very bad thing” for the country’s democracy.
