Omole: No IGP has ever faced Senate clearance
National security expert Charles Omole states current IGP Olatunji Disu should not be singled out for Senate clearance. Omole notes no past IGP has undergone this process, questioning why the current officer is targeted. He emphasizes the Police Act's requirement for an annual national policing plan submission, which no IGP has fulfilled. Omole suggests lawmakers could include Senate clearance in future legislation but should not single out the current IGP.
