The Police Service Commission has cleared the Senate Committee on Navy, Senator Isah Misau, saying his controversial retirement letter is authentic and not forged as alleged by the Police.
This is as the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Kpotum Idris is yet to be absolved of the alleged bribe to post police officers as well as diverting for personal use, over N120 billion paid by private companies for police duties.
The Nigeria Police Force, on August 27, 2017, declared Misau a “deserter,” and accused him of being in possession of a forged retirement letter.
The lawmaker was invited by the Commission, to appear before its special panel investigating the genuineness or otherwise of the two letters of retirement emanating from it.

Misau, in a series of interviews with newsmen, accused the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, of collecting bribe to post police officers as well as diverting for personal use, over N120 billion paid by private companies for police duties.
