SAN FRANCISCO, July 26, (THEWILL) – Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki Thursday afternoon in his office at the National Assembly met with a team of investigators investigating his alleged direct link to a gang of armed robbery suspects that hit multiple banks and a police station in Offa, Kwara State.
Saraki’s Special Assistant on New Media, Olu Onemola, Saraki in multiple tweets confirmed the meeting and reaffirmed his principal’s position that he has no direct relations with the suspects.
“Further to the invitation to the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, by the Police on July 23, 2018, and his written response to them on July 24, 2018 on why he could not see them that day — today at about 1:40pm, the Senate President met with a team of investigators on the Offa Robbery case in his office.
“Dr. Saraki, used the opportunity to reiterate the fact that he has nothing to do with either the robbery incident on April 5, 2018, or any other criminal activity.”
THEWILL recalls that Saraki had said his link to the suspects was mere politics.
THEWILL also recalls that the Attorney General and the Ministry of Justice had advised the police that there is no sufficient evidence linking the Senate President and the Governor of Kwara State to the suspects arrested over the infamous robbery operation that left over a dozen people dead.
