The Inspector-General of Police, Mr.
Suleiman Abba, was adamant on Wednesday, refusing to recognise the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, as the speaker.
He simply addressed him as “Alhaji
Aminu Tambuwal”, a title that angered members of the House Committee on Police
Affairs.
A resilient Abba insisted that it
would be “subjudice ” for him to address Tambuwal as speaker or any matter
relating to him so long as such a matter was in court.
The Chairman of the committee, Mr.
Usman Bello-Kurmo, asked him a direct question, “Is Aminu Waziri-Tambuwal the
speaker of the House of Representatives or not?”
The IG replied, “Mr. Chairman, you
know that matters before the courts are subjudice.
“Commenting on them is subjudice
until they are disposed of.”
