Senator Dino Melaye has threatened to sue the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, over the reported escape of two suspects who accused him (Melaye) of being their sponsor and gun supplier.
Melaye who spoke on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday, cited Order 43 to submit that the police had either released the suspects or killed them.
He therefore said that the Police must produce the suspects dead or alive or he would sue the Police IG for intimidation, abuse of power, harrasment and mental assault.
On March 20, the Nigerian Police paraded the suspects allegedly working for Melaye.
The thugs were caught with two AK-47 and five pump action guns.
The suspects were billed to be arraigned on Wednesday.
