Following his removal by President Goodluck Jonathan, Premium Times has listed the "many sins" committed by the ex Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba.

Abba was found guilty of abusing his powers by withdrawing House of Reps Speaker Aminu Tambuwal's security aides, after he defeated from the PDP to the APC.

Also on November 2, 2014, Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, wrote to Mr. Abba, warning him of series of “illegal policing” being perpetrated under his watch.

The lawyer listed some of Mr. Abba’s sins to include the arrest and dentition of over 700 top APC members in Osun state barely days before the state’s gubernatorial election on August 9, 2014;

Abba also failed to call Joseph Mbu, a controversial Assistant Inspector General of Police, to order for his reckless abuse of police powers especially after a Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja delivered a judgment declaring the ban on the #BringBackOurGirls campaign group illegal, null and void.

Another of his sins was to threaten Nigerians during the general elections. Shortly before the just concluded general elections, Mr. Abba openly countered a directive by the Independent National Electoral Commission that voters could wait at polling units and protect their votes.

In countering the directive, the former IGP warned the electorate to leave the polling units once they cast their votes.

A few days after his directive came under strong criticism; the former IGP made a u-turn and said he never stopped voters from waiting after casting their ballots.

Some Nigerians believe Mr. Abba was simply overzealous in order to please the presidency, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party and their agents.
