SAN FRANCISCO, May 04, (THEWILL) – The police have asked Senate President Bukola Saraki to respond to allegations levelled against him in writing instead of appearing at the force intelligence response team office at Abuja over the robbery that took place in Offa, Kwara state.
THEWILL recalls that the police had invited the senate president on Sunday, saying some of the suspects involved in the robbery which led to the deaths of 33 persons, including nine police officers, confessed being thugs of the nation’s number three citizen.
While parading the suspects in Abuja, Jimoh Moshood, police spokesman, said Saraki’s alleged links to them would be investigated.
Saraki had denied the allegation and indicated interest in honouring the invitation of the police.
He, on Monday, sent his Aide-De-Camp (ADC) to pick up the police invitation in respect of the allegations raised against him.
However, in a tweet on Monday afternoon, Saraki revealed that he had been asked not to appear before the police but to respond in writing within 48 hours.
