The President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, was implicated by the Offa Robbery suspects, whom the police claimed were working for the Senator.

However in a press release signed by his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, the Senate President maintained that there is no how he could have been involved in armed robbery against his own people.

See the press release:

“The attention of the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has been drawn to a story circulating online and apparently derived from a Press Conference addressed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Moshood Jimoh, linking him (Saraki) to the Offa robbery.

“Dr. Saraki will want the entire public to disregard this claim as a baseless allegation and another ploy by the Police to implicate him by all means.

“Let it be known that there is no way I could have been associated with armed robbery against my people.

“When the Offa robbery incident happened, I was the first top public official to pay a visit to the place and right there in the palace of the traditional ruler, I put a call through to this same Mr. Ibrahim Idris, the IGP, requesting him to make certain specific security arrangements as demanded by the people.

“Members of the public will remember that on May 16, 2018, I alerted the Senate about the information passed on to me by my State Governor, Dr. Abdulfatai Ahmed, over a plot by the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, to frame me up by getting some suspected cultists arrested in Ilorin to implicate me. It is believed that the timely leakage of the plot in that case aborted the use of the suspected cultists to implicate me. Now, it is the Offa bank robbery suspects that are about to be used.

“This plot is concocted to embarrass me and, in the mind of the IGP, it is his own response after his refusal to honour the invitation by the National Assembly, headed me, for him to come and offer explanations on the rampant killings and violence across the country.

“Like the earlier one, this frame-up will also fail as I hereby state categorically that I have no link with any band of criminals.

“As a person who has utmost respect for the rule of law and all constitutional institutions, when the invitation from the Police is formally extended to me, I will be ready to honour it without any delay.

“It is however sad that this abuse of the criminal investigation process aimed at intimidating and over-overawing the legislature, thereby obstructing it from doing its work, is a big threat to our democracy “, the Senate President stated.

All of them are criminals and robbers,the difference between them and armed robbers is that they use pen and paper to steal while the other make use of arms.

The IGP as a security chief should stop heating up the polity and causing unnecessary tensions with his unproven allegations . first he accused the senate president of using cultist which he is yet to make his findings public then now the offa robbery . this is executive rascality in display as a follow up of his refusal to honour the senates invitation and a proof that buhari is not in control of government.

Why are you asking the public questions?

Make Una no disturb us abeg

Naso...
We will wait for justice to take its full course, if you are innocent you will be discharged and acquitted, if not you will face the full force of the law.

I was wondering why he was following Sai Baba everywhere, even inside closed doors for 2 weeks prior now

Time will tell.
Nigeria will be GREAT again.

Meanwhile :

It is just another campaign gimmick, give it a week or two.

We all know Saraki is a bloody criminal

Saraki doesn't have a problem with being implicated in robbery, unarmed robbery is their family business. Where he has problem being implicated is armed robbery.

A house divided against itself

Tyranny and arbitrariness will fail.


The will of the people will ultimately prevail.

Am speechless..... They better not disturb the G man without proof..

Lol are you surprised. An average abok.i no sabi nada. Even to frame somebody up is so difficult for them. IGP nor get common sense at all. Just look at the cheap primary school rubbish they are doing. Even nursery school children cannot be this daft in framing someone up. I hope nigerians south especially will never make the mistake of ever voting any abok.i man into power. They keep dragging the country backward.

I know one day some day, we shall know the truth.

How can APC manage Nigeria seeing how poorly they fare in running their own party? Incompetence exhibited across board.

f**k with Buhari at ur own peril

The unfortunate fellows , Nigerian youths, who have already taken sides, wasting productive man-hours and resources to defend their principals are the ones I'm appalled for.
If you ask me, I'd say let's watch from the grandstands as the politicians help to annihilate themselves. That is the wiser thing to do.
Has anyone wondered why no elderstatesman has waded in? Think my people.

the truth is Nigerian politicians are known to be using cultist,arm robbers and other criminals are thugs during election so I won't be surprised..but it must be proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is involved not just a smear campaign.

Story. Go and defend yourself

If someone can loot the treasury of his state, what is bank robbery?? Any politician stealing money under any disgust is worse than a back robber.

Dino melaye was(is) a victim of this kind of allegation. Now it is Saraki. Are we that dump to believe those stories??!!

NgeneUkwenu:

Ndi Ara!

This unrepentant zombie, you are still here!

If he proves himself innocent that means saraki is the next most influential and powerful politician in Nigeria, that guy has linked saraki based on his past relationship during elections so as for saraki to rescue him for his woeful stupidity.

I believe you. Its clear FG wants to bring you down but it won't work.
