House Committee members walk out on IGP after he refers to the Speaker as 'one Alhaji Tambuwal"

House Committee Members this afternoon walked
out on the Inspector general of police, Sulaiman
Abba, after he refused to address Speaker Aminu
Tambuwal properly when he appeared before the
House of Representatives Police Committee today
after several days of ignoring their invitation
According to Sahara Reporters; while trying to
explain why his men invaded the National Assembly
last week, the IGP said 'they had credible intelligence
that some thugs had planned on causing mayhem at
the resumed sitting of the house."


Now here's where it gets interesting...lol. The IGP
said 'one Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal led a group of
thugs to overpower the security at the first gate. A
move he claimed led the police to lock down the
second gate and fire a canister of teargas.
His reference to the "Speaker of the House as "one
Alhaji Tambuwal" made the committee members
mad.


They asked the IGP to properly address the speaker
of the house according to protocol but Mr Abba said
the case of the speaker was in court and as such he
wouldn't like to comment further on it.
The committee member refused to proceed with the
hearing until the IGP properly addressed the speaker.


They said as long as he refuses to do so, they too
would no longer recognize him as IG. They argued
back and forth and the members walked out on the
IGP.
