I resigned, I’m not a deserter, Misau tells police

Lawmaker representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Senator Isah Misau, has denied the allegation by the Nigeria Police that he deserted. He insisted that he resigned from the service.

According to Misau, who spoke to journalists in Abuja on Monday, he is not on the run as the police authorities claimed.

He challenged the police authorities to address the issues he raised against the leadership of the security agency rather than diverting attention to his alleged removal from the police force.

Misau said, “I am not surprised that the Police Force left unaddressed the weighty issues raised and my concerns over the unwholesome practices in an institution I dedicated the active part of my youthful years to attack my integrity.

“It only goes to affirm my worries over the current leadership of the force. For the avoidance of doubt, I strictly followed the provisions of the Police Act and Regulations in resigning my position with the Nigeria Police.

“Not wanting to take issue with the rambling incoherence of the Force spokesman, the police have always known my whereabouts since my resignation.

“Moreover, I have been in the Senate for about two and half years without any mention of my deserting until my innocuous caution against practices capable of destroying the Police Force.

“It is beyond curiosity that the Police would be looking for someone clearly in plain sight for these past years. Little wonder the proliferation of crimes in the country and the police apparent ‘cluelessness’ especially under the current leadership of Inspector General of Police (Ibrahim Idris).

“The real issue is the illegal promotion in the Police Force and its potential to undermine the operational capacity of the Force. The IGP and the chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC) should prove me wrong and not embark on voyage of discovery,”
