Isah Misau, senator representing Bauchi Central at the National Assembly, says Ibrahim Idris, the Inspector General of Police, approved the procurement of two Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) for Aisha Buhari, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Misau made the new allegations on Wednesday when he reappeared before the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges, which is investigating his earlier allegation against the IGP.
He had claimed that Idris makes N10 billion monthly (N120 billion annually) in illegal payments to provide police security to top businesses and wealthy personalities in the country.
Misau also claimed that the IGP broke the police rules by impregnating a serving officer before getting married to her in a hurriedly arranged secret wedding.
The case has since been taken to the FCT High Court by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.
Appearing before the Senate committee on Wednesday, Misau claimed to be in possession of documents showing details of how Aisha, through her Aide-De-Camp (ADC), had requested Idris to provide her with two vehicles, a Toyota Hiace and one Toyota Sienna.
“I still have some of those papers that the IG himself submitted to the court where the first lady (Mrs Buhari), through her ADC, requested for a Toyota Hiace and one Siena,” Misau said.
“The same day that the ADC wrote, the IGP minuted that she should be given two jeeps and it is not part of the appropriation.
“If you look at the appropriation, there is nowhere they said the first lady should be given two jeeps.”
Misau further accused Idris of “diverting the funds provided under the 2016 Appropriation Act for the acquisition of Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) to purchase of luxury cars”.
According to Misau, Idris “runs the police like a personal property by applying police resources and valuable assets to personal use by his children and close associates”.
Last week, Misau was arraigned before the FCT High Court on a five-count charge bordering on dissemination of falsehood against the police, the IGP, and the Police Service Commission.
He pleaded not guilty to all the charges and was granted bail in the sum of N5million and two sureties.
The case was adjourned to November 28 and 29 for continuation of trial.
Meanwhile, Aisha Buhari took to twitter on Thursday to deny the allegation, saying that she still makes use of her personal cars.
