The Nigerian government on Tuesday filed fraud charges against a serving senator, Isah Misau.

Mr. Misau represents Bauchi State Central Senatorial District.


The decision to file charges against the lawmaker follows allegations he made accusing the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris of fraud and sexual misconduct.


Following Mr. Misau’s allegations, the Senate resolved to investigate the matter.

In response to the senator’s allegations, the police accused Mr. Misau, a retired police officer, of deserting the force. The Police Service Commission, however, said the senator’s retirement was properly done.


In separate charges on Tuesday, brought against the senator by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, the government accused Mr. Misau of disseminating falsehood against the police force.


The offense according to the charge, is contrary to section 393 (1) of the penal code. As reported by Punch newspapers, the second charge comprising a seven-grounds of appeal, focuses on the submission of false documents by the senator the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in 2011 and 2014, respectively.


The alleged offense is in contravention of sections 1 (2) c of the miscellaneous offenses act, 2004.


The charge sheet was signed by an assistant chief state counsel, Aminu Alilu.

The charges read in part:


"That you, lsah Hamman Misau of Hamman Misau Residence, Turaki Street, Misau, Bauchi State, on or about August 10, 2017, at Abuja and other part of Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did make a false statement of fact to wit: that police officers pay as much as two million, five hundred thousand naira (N2.5m) to get special promotion and posting through the Police Service Commission as published in the Daily Trust Newspaper dated August 10, 2017, knowing that such false statement of fact would harm the reputation of Mr. Ibrahim Kpotun ldris (the serving Inspector-General of Police), the Nigeria Police Force and the Police Service Commission and you thereby committed an offense.
