The source could not, however, disclose the number of those who reported and their ranks.

The IGP was said to have directed DIG (R&P) Mohammed Katsina to interrogate them.

It was reliably learnt that the chairman of the committee, a Commissioner of Police, was absent, because President Buhari was visiting his zone. The details of the interrogation were not immediately known.

Investigations revealed that the former IGP had written to President Muhammadu Buhari in December 2018, requesting for the money.

Dependable sources disclosed that a certain amount was eventually released to the committee.

Investigations further revealed that Idris coded the committee as ‘Pre-election Threat Analysis & Security Measures’.

The committee was headed by a Commissioner of Police (CP) and with two other CPs, as well as three Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs), including the DCP in charge of Transport as members.
