Police declare Senator Misau wanted

- By Ronald Mutum

The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has declared Senator Isa Hamman Misau wanted. Police spokesman, CSP Jimoh Moshood, who announced the decision of the police yesterday at a press conference in Abuja, noted that Senator Misau’s name still appears on the police officers staff list.

He said the attention of the force was drawn to publicatio­ns in the media attributed to the senator captioned, “Senator accuses IG of cornering N10bm monthly IGR, taking bribe to post CPs to juicy states”.

Moshood said, “The claims in the story were fabricated lies and unsubstant­iated allegation­s of the shallow imaginatio­ns of a personalit­y claiming to be a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

He said, “Senator Isah Hamman Misau dubiously absconded and deserted the Nigeria Police Force on 24th September, 2010 when he was redeployed to Niger State Command and he refused to report.”

“Consequent upon which he was queried in line with the Public Service Rules Sections 030301(b)(g)(m)&(o) and 030402(a)(b)(c) (e)&(w), in addition to the previous queries and disciplina­ry process he was facing when he refused to proceed on Junior Command Course(JCC) 49/2008 at Staff College Jos between 5th January, 2009 and 19th June, 2009.”

He added that, “the retirement letter presented to journalist­s by DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman is suspicious­ly forged and dubiously obtained.

“The letter which was dated 5th March, 2014, a period of more than four years after AP No 57300 DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman (Senator Isah Hamman Misau) deserted the Force is now being investigat­ed by the Force.

“It is on record for the public and the media to verify that, as AP No 57300 DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman was being wanted as a deserter.”

Moshood said Misau contested and lost the Bauchi Central Senatorial Election in 2011 General Elections under Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), at the age of 37.

He said, “AP. No 57300 DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman absconded from duty and deserted the Force on the 24th September, 2010 but contested the Bauchi Central Senatorial Election in 2011 General Elections under Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).”

Moshood said he also perpetrate­d an act of impersonat­ion by acknowledg­ing the receipt of the suspected forged retirement letter as a Deputy Commission­er of Police (DCP Hamman Isah) instead of his actual rank of a Deputy Superinten­dent of Police (DSP)

He explained that DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman got the suspected forged retirement letter in 2014 but he contested the Bauchi Central Senatorial Election in 2011 General Elections under Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) at that time he was a Deputy Superinten­dent of Police and a deserter of the Force.

He said, “The Nigeria Police Force hereby declares DSP Mohammed Isah Hamman (Senator Isah Haman Misau) a deserter from the Nigeria Police Force; the Force will definitely take appropriat­e action in this circumstan­ce as it has to do with a Deserter under the Police Act and Regulation­s.”

He appealed to other security agencies in the country to assist the Nigeria Police Force in this regard.
