NGO SUES IG OF POLICE OVER ADEOSUN

NGO sues IG over Adeosun

A non-governmental organisation, Human and Environmental Development Agenda Resource Centre, has dragged the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, before the Federal High Court in Lagos for the failure of the police to probe the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, who was accused of forging an exemption certificate of the National Youth Service Corps.

The NGO is praying the court to grant it leave to seek an order of mandamus to compel the IG to probe the forgery allegation against the minister.

HEDA said it resorted to filing the suit to prevent the case from being swept under the carpet, especially in view of the silence of the minister and the Federal Government on the case.

 HEDA’s Chairman, Mr Olanrewaju Suraju, said the suit became necessary after the Inspector-General of Police allegedly shunned its July 10, 2018, demanding the probe of the minister.
