Misau made this allegation on the floor of the senate while briefing his colleagues, about alleged corruption in the Force, under Idris, and the need to restore sanity in the force.
The senator and the IGP have been at loggerhead hurling brickbats at each other.
Misau, a former police officer, in August claimed that police officers paid bribes to Idris to get favourable postings and promotions.
The serving senator, who retired from the force as a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), and now represents Bauchi Central Senatorial District, in the Senate, also accused Idris, of receiving N10bn monthly from corporate bodies, oil firms, high placed citizens as payment for special security services rendered by the police.
The police had dismissed the claim as the ranting of a disgruntled deserter.
Another dimension was on Wednesday added to the allegations Misau made against Idris.
He said on the floor of the Senate, “I am aware that the IGP has impregnated a female officer in his office. Because he wanted to save his face, he hurriedly went ahead and married the woman. The wedding ceremony was held in Kaduna State.
“The female officer was already four months pregnant. This is against the rules of the Police Service Commission. You cannot marry another police officer while you are still serving. But the IGP has flouted that law.”
