04 Dec #EndSARS: IGP disowns suit to stop probe of officers
Inspector-General Mohammed Adamu has directed an investigation into a suit purportedly challenging the legality of the panels in the states.
A statement by police spokesman Frank Mba said: “The IGP, who gave the order on the heels of trending reports in the media, today (yesterday) expressed the disapproval of the Force Management Team on the matter and ordered investigations into the alleged role of the Force Legal Section including its Head.
“Meanwhile, the Force Legal Officer has been queried and may face further sanctions if found guilty of dereliction of duty.
“The IGP reiterates the commitment of the Force to fulfilling all its obligations with regards to the disbandment of the defunct SARS, the ongoing judicial panels and all other police reforms.”
The Police were believed to have filed the suit at Federal High Court in Abuja.
The suit seeks an order restraining the attorneys-general of the 36 states and the panels of inquiry from proceedings with their investigations.
