Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, says the force he leads does not owe any individual or group any apology in discharging its duties.
Idris spoke in a statement issued on his behalf by Jimoh Moshood, spokesman of the police.
He said this while responding to the comments made by senators over his refusal to honour the invitation of the senate.
Idris has refused to appear before the senate on three different occasions.
He had been summoned over the growing insecurity in the country and the case of Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west.
Melaye is currently in custody of the police.
The first time the IGP was invited to appear before the senators, he accompanied President Muhammadu Buhari to Bauchi state but sent representatives who were rejected by the lawmakers.
The second time, the IGP said he went to Birin Gwari, Kaduna state, on a working visit.
But responding on Wednesday night, the IGP accused the lawmakers of attempting to witch-hunt him, vowing not to be intimidated.
He asked the public to disregard the statement of the senate and promised to continue to discharge his duties to the best of his ability.
Idris accused the legislators of trying to blackmail him because of the case of Melaye.
