Police Give Saraki 48hrs To Explain Link With Suspects
By Ladun Liadi
Senate President Bukola Saraki will no longer visit the police over the April 5 Offa, Kwara State bank robbery, it was learnt yesterday.
He is to write a statement, which he will send to the police.
On Sunday, the police said Saraki would be invited to its Intelligence Response Team’s office in Guzepe, Abuja, to explain his relationship with the suspects, who claimed to be Saraki’s and Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed’s thugs. They also alleged that they were paid and armed by the duo.
In a tweet, Saraki said he received a letter from the Police, informing him that he should no longer bother to appear in person to answer questions.
“They are no longer asking me to appear at the station, but to respond in writing to the allegation within 48 hours which I plan to do,” he tweeted.
He had earlier directed his ADC, Usman Na’ Abu Danguza, to collect from the Force Headquarters, Abuja the letter inviting him so that he could immediately honour the police invitation.
