A strong member of the Senate Unity Forum, on Monday challenged Saraki to name those who wanted to abduct him before his emergence as President of the 8th Senate.
In a text message sent to Journalists yeaterday Senator, Kabiru Marafa tasked them to ask Saraki to name those who wanted to abduct him before getting full reaction to his allegation.
Saraki had at an interview with journalists last weekend in Abuja, alleged that before the inauguration of the 8th Senate on Tuesday, June 9, 2015, there were plans by some big guns within the party, stridently opposed to his aspiration as President of the 8th Senate, to abduct him as a way of preventing him from attending the inauguration and personally accepting his nomination for the position.
According to Saraki at the interview as widely reported in the print media on Sunday, he escaped the abduction allegedly planned against him that day by refusing to report at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel where all federal lawmakers elect , were billed to gather at 8:am for onward movement to the National Assembly.
He said in the interview that rather joining his colleagues at Transcorp Hilton Hotel at the slated time, he moved faster than everybody by getting to the premises of the National Assembly as early as 6:am that day and hid in a car at the car park for four solid hours in a state of incommunicado.
He said: "First of all, as regards the meeting (at ICC), on the morning of the inauguration, I didn't finish meeting until 4:00 of that day and I had got information that efforts would likely be made to make sure that I didn't get
access into the chambers.
