The war between the Senate and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Ibrahim Idris, is getting more interesting by the day.

The police have issued a statement today linking Senate President Bukola Saraki to the April 5, 2018 bank robberies in Offa, Kwara State, where bandits killed over 33 victims including police officers and pregnant women.

According to the statement, Saraki is being invited to report to the Police to answer allegations indicting him from alleged confessions of five gang leaders arrested for active participation in the Offa Bank Robberies and killings of 33 innocent persons.

Saraki had, however, raised the alarm in a statement 18 days ago on May 16, that the police were plotting to force some criminals in their custody to implicate him in their statement.

The police also announced the arrest of Mr. Yusuf Abdulwahab, the Chief of Staff to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed and Alabi Olalekan, his Personal Assistant on Politics, in connection with the bloody robberies.

Saraki has been at war with Idris, since he refused to honour lawmakers’ invitation to brief the Senate on how he is handling security issues in the country. Now, the tables appear to have turned with the IGP inviting the Senate President to a police station, to defend himself against allegations of armed robberies and killings.

Here’s the full statement, accompanied by pictures, from the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) ACP Jimoh Moshood:

Bukola Saraki and the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Alh. Abdulfatah Ahmed.


The arrests of the above mentioned Five (5) Gang Leaders and seventeen (17) others were made possible after the arrest of two principal suspects (Kunle Ogunleye aka Arrow 35yrs and Michael Adikwu an Ex-Convict) whose pictures captured by CCTV in one of the Banks during the Banks robbery were circulated to the media and the public. The two (2) principal suspects confessed to be among the suspects led by the five (5) gang leaders listed in paragraph 2 above to carry out the Offa Banks Robbery, the attack on the Divisional Police Headquarters, Offa and the killings of THIRTY THREE (33) innocent persons on the 5th of April, 2018.

Millions of Naira from the Banks and Twenty One (21) AK47 Rifles belonging to the Nigeria Police Force in the Armoury of the Police Divisional Headquarters, Offa were admitted to have been carted away by the Five (5) gang leaders and the other Seventeen (17) principal suspects during the Banks robbery.


The Five (5) gang leaders confessed and volunteered statements to the Police investigators, giving a clear account of how they planned and carried out the Banks robbery operation in Offa, the attack on the Police Division in Offa and how they killed the THIRTY THREE (33) innocent persons during the robbery.


7 The Five (5) gang leaders further confessed during investigation that they are political thugs under the name Youth Liberation Movement a.k.a “Good Boys” admitted and confessed to have been sponsored with firearms, money and operational vehicles by the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki and the Governor of Kwara State, Alh. Abdulfatah Ahmed.



In the course of discreet investigation into the confessions of these five (5) gang leaders and the other seventeen (17) principal suspects, a Lexus jeep GX-300 (Ash Colour) with a sticker plate number with inscription“SARAKI” “Kwara, State of Harmony” used by the gang leader (Ayoade Akinnibosun ‘M’ 37Yrs) during the bank robbery and the killing of the THIRTY THREE (33) innocent persons was taken to Government House, Ilorin on 16th May, 2018 where the sticker plate number with inscription “SARAKI” “Kwara, State of Harmony” was removed before another plate number (Reg. No. Kwara, KMA 143 RM) registered in the name of Ayoade AKinnibosun the Overall Commander of the Offa Bank Robbery was then attached to the vehicle to cover up the identity of the said vehicle. The exhibit vehicle was subsequently recovered from the premises of the Min. of Environmental and Forestry in Ilorin, Kwara State. While the sticker plate number with inscription “SARAKI” “Kwara, State of Harmony” removed from the vehicle was recovered from one Adeola Omiyale who drove the said Lexus Jeep to Government House, Ilorin immediately after the Bank Robbery.


The Personal Assistant (Political) to the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mr. Alabi Olalekan, who is privy to information that the Police is looking for the lexus Jeep as an exhibit used in the Offa Bank Robbery and the killings of THIRTY THREE (33) innocent persons directed one Adeola Omiyale to relocate the Lexus Jeep to Government House, Ilorin.

A revolver pistol and pump action gun were recovered by the Police Investigation Team from the Personal Assistant (Political) to the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mr. Alabi Olalekan’s Farm where he directed his brother to hide them after his arrest by the Police.


In order to conceal evidence, the Chief of Staff to the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mr. Yusuf Abdulwahab who has been arrested and taken into Police custody, arranged the removal of the sticker plate number with inscription “SARAKI” “Kwara, State of Harmony” from the exhibit vehicle and also registered the exhibit Lexus Jeep used in the Offa Bank Robbery and the killings of THIRTY THREE (33) innocent persons in the name of Ayoade AKinnibosun, the overall Gang Commander of the Offa Bank Robbery while the Ayoade AKinnibosun was already in Police custody for more than six (6) days before the registration of the vehicle.

Happenings in Nigeria never ceases to amaze me



Which way Naija

Another hungry blogger on the loose.

OK

He should go and clean his name!

The drama has just begun. We are waiting and watching

Shame!

This is really very weighty. Just like Dino, cries and tales of witch hunt started once the Police made headway on arrests of suspects, perhaps to garner public sympathy while aware of what lies ahead. It will be very very disappointing if Mr Saraki’s complicity is proven beyond doubt. He had everything going for him. I really feel very sad.

Killing of over 30 persons and robbery of multiple Banks and a Police Station is the heart of heartlessness and wickedness. Adikwu alone killed 22 persons.

God help us!

very interesting.

policts is really a dirty game

It's quite shameful how the APC are using the institutions that ought to protect the citizens in settling personal scores. Criticise Buhari and his draconic policies and see EFFC, ICPC, Police and other forces coming for your head. This is a demonic and military regime in disguise.

one thing I have noticed is that anybody who poses a threat to buhari's election suddenly gets a criminal indictment hanging on him. The only saints in Nigeria are those backing the tyrant in chief. All others are criminals
