The crisis between Senator Isah Hamman Misau (APC Bauchi Central) and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, has left the court of public opinion to the law court.
On Tuesday, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN), filed charges against the senator before the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The senator is accused, among others, of making and uttering false documents, which he allegedly  submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2011 and 2015.
In another five-count charge, Misau was accused of making “injurious falsehood” against the IGP, the Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Mike Okiro, and the Nigeria Police  Force (NPF) in various newspaper publications.
The said false documents Misau allegedly made and uttered are: “personal particulars of persons seeking election to the office/membership of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (INEC Form C. F. 001/2011),” and a similar document for 2015 election (INEC Form C. F. 2015).
Others are: “A statutory declaration of age, deposed to at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja in December 2014” and “Bauchi State Health Management Board Birth Certificate Registration No: 28799.”
Misau, in the seven-count charge filed by the office of the AGF, is said to have, by his alleged conduct, committed offences punishable under Section 1(2)(C) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act Cap 17 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and punishable under the same section of the Act.
The charge reads as follows:
