According to Awe, Selenkere should be prosecuted because of his alleged unprofessional conduct bordering on dishonesty and violations of the code of ethics of the Nigerian Police Force.
Naij.com recalls that the Nigerian Army set up an investigative panel on Tuesday, October 20, 2015 to look into the alleged unprofessional role played by its personnel after Captain Sagir Koli , a captain at the 32nd Artillery Brigade in Ekiti state.
Koli had recorded audio conversation between his GOC, Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, some other military officers and some members of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) on ways to rig the gubernatorial election in Ekiti and Osun states using the military.
Months after, the Nigerian Army panel submitted a report indicting some of its officers. But in a reaction to this development, Fayose had this to say: “Now that the
military has indicted itself, goodluck to them. Meanwhile, we await whatever hidden agenda behind this self-indictment.”
