Following the police disruption of the #BringBackOurGirls group’s rally on September 6, the group on Wednesday called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Police Service Commission to take disciplinary actions against the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
The #BBOG said the “mere retraction” of the initial ban on its rallies would be insufficient in erasing what it (#BBOG) regarded as the “injurious allegations” levelled against the members.
Delivering its monthly monitoring report at Unity Fountain, Abuja, the #BBOG in a statement signed by its co-conveners, Aisha Yesufu and Oby Ezekwesili, the group announced a list of requests.
Part of the request included that the IGP retracts allegations made against the #BBOG as well as apologises to family members of the abducted girls for the abuse of their rights on September 6.
“That the President acting through the Police Commission calls the Inspector General (Mr. Ibrahim Kpotum Idris) to order immediately and takes appropriate disciplinary measures against him and the two other officers ( CP Alkali Usman, and DCP M. D. Garba of the FCT Command), to deter any recurrence of unconstitutional, unprofessional, lawless , and oppressive conduct in the future,” the group said.
