Forefront gathered that the lawmaker had one of the worst records as an officer which he sought to delete from his service file due to fears that his opponents might use such ignoble accounts against his future political interest.
It is reliably gathered that that in one instance when he approached the Police high command for a deal to re-create his service records, he was politely turned down and advised to forget it because such documentations are archival police material that cannot be tempered with given the serialization of all the papers in his file as well as the different officers that made comments and signed the filed documents.
According to competent sources, Senator Misau, feeling embarrassed and humiliated by such response, quickly approached the Senate President, who he knew had scores to settle with the Police hierarchy.
However, his hopes that this joker would force the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to play ball and dance to the Senate leadership’s tune was further dashed with ignominy and there was hatched the plans to make the seat too hot for IGP Idris.
The sources confirmed that while serving in the Force, Senator Misau, known as DSP Mohammed Hamma, proved not only a serial offender but also boasted of a poor service record that included his admittance of visiting unholy places without official authorization.
However, the former Police officer turned lawmaker, had insisted then that he only paid a visit to an herbalist in search of traditional cure for a strange ailment that tormented his health while in service.
In a poorly written reply to a query he received on November 6, 2005 and addressed to the Commanding Officer of the 44 PMF, FHQ, Abuja, the then young officer, DSP Hamma said: “It is true that I was absent without permission for the number of days stated” owing to what he said; “was because of sickness I have found myself into.”
According to him; “I was sick for a long time, since I was a Divisional Crime Officer, Wuse Division, Abuja. I have visited so many hospitals, including National Hospital Abuja, which I was diagnosed and x-ray was taking and all proved that there is nothing they have seen or detected that I am alright, but myself I knew there is something disturbing me.
“I confided on a friend and made him know what I am going through, which he told me that he would take me to a native doctor in a village under Abaji Area Council on 28th October, 2005 at about 10:00hrs we embark on the trip to see the Native doctor.”
Giving further insights on his exploits at Abaji, Senator Misau said; “I was given concussion which I drank and it turn out that my system did not agree with it and it became ‘position’ to me. I started vomiting and stooling which lead to my unconsciousness for days in that village.
“The person that took me there refused to rush me to the hospital for fear of being arrested according to him, and that the native doctor convinced him that is normal everything would be alright, they tried and luckily I survived it.”
Other documents with Forefront also revealed that another query, dated January 16, 2009 and signed by CP Suleiman Abba was served on Hamma, with the title, ‘Query For Serious Misconduct’. It read in part; “You were nominated to participate in 24 weeks Junior Command Course 49/2009 at Police Staff College, Jos vide letter No. CE.6421/’E’ DEPT/FHQ/ABJ/JCC/VOL.4/726 dated 19/11/2008.
“The Course commenced on 05/01/2009 and you contemptuously failed to report for the course despite the long notice.”
He was accordingly found guilty of disobedience of lawful Order without good and sufficient cause, for refusing to attend Junior Command Course 49/2009 at the Staff College, Jos, contrary to rule 04401 (iv) of the Public Service Rule 2000.”
He was also found guilty of negligence of duty and discreditable conduct as the sum total of his conduct was found to be prejudicial to discipline and unbecoming of an officer of the rank of DSP, contrary to rule 0430 (i) of the Public Service Rules 2000.”
The sources further stated that it was mostly bad news for DSP Hamma as he got another warning letter in 2006 and signed by ACP HM Dagala, the then Commander of the Police Mobile Force (PMF), Abuja.
This letter stated thus; “You will recall that you were queried for being absent from duty without leave/permission vide letter No. CH:6350/44PMF/B/FHQ/ABJ/-VOL. 1/26, and dated 8th November, 2005.”
Our reliable sources maintained that this warning was issued to officer Hamma after the Commissioner of Police (PMF), carefully considered his submission on the query and found him blameworthy of indisputable conduct unexpected of a Superior Police Officer (SPO).
