Police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood also announced the arrest of Mr. Yusuf Abdulwahab, the chief of staff to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed and Alabi Olalekan, his Personal Assistant, Political, as investigations over the gruesome robbery deepened.
The police claimed five of the bandits arrested and who have made confessions during interrogations indicted the senate president.
The police therefore wanted to interrogate the Senate President. The police did not give a specific time they wanted Saraki to report.
“The Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki is being invited by the Nigeria Police Force to report to the Force Intelligence Response Team office at Guzape, Abuja to answer to the allegations levelled against him from the confessions of the Five (5) Gang Leaders, namely; Ayoade Akinnibosun, Ibukunle Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham, Salawudeen Azeez, Niyi Ogundiran and some of the other Seventeen (17) suspects arrested for direct involvement and active participation in the Offa Bank Robbery and the gruesome killing of 33 innocent persons which include some pregnant women and nine Police personnel”, Moshood said.
The police in the statement appeared to have dropped hints on what they wanted to ask Saraki about, as they claimed that the five men, who were the leaders of the bandits "admitted, confessed and volunteered statements that they were political thugs of the Senate President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sen. Bukola Saraki and the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Alh. Abdulfatah Ahmed”.
The other hints dropped were the recovery of one Toyota Prado Jeep with Reg. No.19KWGH belonging to the Personal Assistant, Political, to the Governor of Kwara State and a Sticker plate number with inscription “SARAKI” “Kwara, State of Harmony"
from Nan
This is a serious allegation .
ReplyDeletewhat a country that the leaders would also sponsor robbers, God would judge all of them
ReplyDeleteI pity no politician cos they pity nobody. Arrest everyone needed to be arrested as long as it's justified and transparent; Bob victimisation and hope the case won't be swept under the carpet.
ReplyDeleteYou may never really know the heart of these people and with the coming of 2019 election, dear politicians
3rd line: no victimisation or frame ups
DeleteLast line: fear politicians
There's too much political intrigue in this country. I believe those guys are political thugs (all Naija politicians have them) that are kept armed to the teeth to mobilize at any moment. Na the guys wey decide to use the guns to arrange themselves. So Saraki's sin is illegal procurement of arms and arming of questionable characters. I don't have pity for any politician, they can afford to hire 100 SANs to defend themselves
ReplyDeleteI think so too. He probably equipped them not necessarily sending them to Rob. I pray justice is served tho and the real culprits brought to book
Delete2019 is almost here and Buhari is busy destroying his perceived enemies!
ReplyDeleteAll those who betrayed GEJ for their selfish ambitions and hatred towards him are regretting now...ntor!
If only PDP can bring back Jonathan in 2019......Buhari will go down!
This is a lie from the pit of hell, a case of the hunter now becoming the hunted. Don't forget that Saraki invited the IGP recently to answer to the increased rate of crimes in the country which he has not honoured till date. This baseless accusation is just to embarrass Saraki and his godson Dogara and also to intimidate them into supporting The now very unpopular APC government which is also a terrorist government as we all know in the coming 2019 elections. APC government is a goner as far as Nigeria is concerned.
ReplyDeleteNigerian police sha, when dem wan bite your yansh dem no mind bite with shit.since they have chosen thugs and killer's as their manifesto
ReplyDeleteSorry godson Abudultafah Ahmad
ReplyDeleteI am from Kwara State, Saraki's bad governance in his 8 year rule was greater than his good deeds. But Saraki is richer than all those banks put together. People like Saraki are no longer looking for money, it's power they want. Since the CCT failed,the next tool is now robbery. Abeg the IGP should say something else.
ReplyDelete#Atagara
Our country is in big trouble APC govt should try harder, big lie from the pit of hell.. If u believe this fake allegations than u can believe anything coming from this bunch of criminal called APC ..this is a big set up IG go and answer ur query and stop being a nuisance
ReplyDeleteWhen a man sponsor's political thugs and equips them, he is indirectly encouraging banditry, armed robbery and all forms of violence and social ills. And you now have the morals to summon someone over the rate of killings and murders? Pot calling the kettle black. No wonder the man refused to appear. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. Behind doors you are supplying guns to people, teaching them how to kill for you and before people you are now summoning the unit responsible for keeping law and order to ask them why they are not keeping the people safe. What a hypocrite. If I were the iGP of course I will never respond to such a hypocritical summon. Saraki knows what he has done to encourage armed robbery and banditry not only in Kwara State but also in the entire country.
ReplyDelete@10:56,political thugs is part of politicking in Nigeria and I bet you that the NPDP campaigned for Buhari so therefore our president is complicit in this allegations, so what are you saying? Orji Uzor Kali recently revealed how PDP was killing people,please who are the people doing these killings for them? Let's be objective and stop thinking in a dapraved and deprived way. We all know politics is a ruthless game in Nigeria and this is a total case of WITCH HUNTING
