I’m free to have romantic affairs with any policewoman This statement credited to the Inspector General of Police is untrue and unfounded.
It is a mischievous attempt to mislead and misinform members of the Public and as well cast aspersions on the person and hard earned reputation of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim K. Idris NPM, mni.
What the IGP said in the document submitted to the Senate Ad hoc committee is that no law stops a Police Officer in Service to marry another Police Officer on an Officer cadre. He never said I’m free to have romantic affairs.
Members of the public are implored to disregard the story in its entirety. The Inspector General of Police is not distracted.
