ABUJA, NIGERIA (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – About three weeks after he left office, a discordant tune has ensued between the immediate past Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Solomon Arase and his successor acting Ibrahim Idris as the allegation and counter over the number of cars Arase left with rage.

The acting IGP has alleged that his predecessor left with a total of 24 cars including two exotic BMW, but Arase denied such development never happened.

Consequently, Mr. Arase warned his successor to desist from using propaganda and waging of media war against him. He counseled Idris to instead, face his obligation by looking into resolving many security challenges facing Nigeria.

In addition, Mr. Arase in statement he issued Monday, from UK corroborated that he suspected there must be disconnection somewhere because every information needed by his successor were provided in his handover notes.

“I’m also not aware that any letter was written to me because if there was any dropped in my house, someone would have alerted me.

“It’s unfortunate that this matter is being made a media issue because my successor has my telephone number and could have called me for any clarification or even sent me a text message rather than addressing the media on an issue well documented in my handover notes” Arase specified.
