The dispute between the Nigeria police and the chairman of the Senate Committee On Navy, Senator Isah Misau, is attracting more concerns, as some rights activists are calling for a thorough investigation of the corruption allegation made by the senator.
Senator Misau had claimed that the Nigeria police authorities collect an estimated 10 billion Naira monthly from oil companies and individuals it provides security for, which is unaccounted for.
The police have since denied the allegation, accusing Senator Misau of deserting the police force.
The Force Pubilc Relations Officer, Mr Jimoh Moshood, said the police intends to approach the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges to compel the Senator to return to the police force and answer a query on why he deserted the force and professional misconduct.

“Senator Isah Hamma Misau dubiously absconded and deserted the Nigerian Police Force on the 24th September 2010 when he was redeployed to the Niger State Police Command. Considering all the above, the Force is compelled to seek the prompt considering of the Senate Ethics and Privileges Committee to prevail on DSP Hamma Isah to return to the Nigerian Police Force to face the Force Disciplinary Committee,” Mr Moshood said.
Senator Misau who represents Bauchi Central, however, denied leaving the Police Force without following due process.
