*Insist Senate President must appear before Force Intelligence Response Team

*He’s culpable and has case to answer-FPRO

*Saraki not aware of our operations, suspected gang leader confesses

By Kingsley Omonobi & Joseph Erunke

THE Police, Wednesday, denied that it withdrew its earlier invitation to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to appear before the Force Intelligence Response Team, in Abuja, to answer questions following his alleged involvement in Offa banks robbery and the gruesome killings of over 33 people in Kwara State by some political thugs loyal to him.

The police insisted that contrary to the claim by the Senate President that its invitation to him had been withdrawn, nothing as such has emanated from it.

To this end, it insisted that the Senate President must appear before the Force Intelligence Response Team, at Guzape, Abuja, to respond to allegations of his involvement in the operations.

The development came as leader of the suspected gang that carried out the operations, Ayoade Akinnibosun, told journalists yesterday, that the Senate President was not aware of their dastardly acts contrary to insinuation to that effect.

Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood,at a media briefing where he re-paraded the Offa banks robbery suspects, added that Saraki going by confessional statements obtained from the suspects was culpable in the robbery and killings and therefore, has case to answer.

But he did not give deadline to the Senate President to appear before the police investigation team even as he remained evasive on possible action against the Senate President if he fails to appear as directed.

Moshood, who disclosed that additional two suspects in connection with the acts have been nabbed by the police and have made confessional statements in custody, where they are being held implicating the Senate President in the banks robbery.

In a veiled response to accusation from the National Assembly that the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, was framing perceived opponents of President Muhammadu Buhari with criminal cases and consequent vote of no confidence of the police boss last Tuesday, Mr Moshood said the police will not be cowed or succumb to intimidation from any quarter.

Hear him:”The Nigeria Police Force will not be cowed or succumb to intimidation from any quarter in carrying out a thorough and discreet investigation into the Offa banks robbery where significant successes have been recorded.

“The ongoing investigation will be driven to a logical conclusion.

“Meanwhile, the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki is still under investigation in connection to the Offa banks robbery and the Nigeria Police Force will do everything possible within the ambit of the law to ensure that justice is done in this case.”

Meanwhile, the leader of the suspected gang, Ayoade Akinnibosun, told journalists that the Senate President was not aware of their dastardly acts, saying they were merely political thugs of both the Senate President and the Kwara State governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed.

Good one, Saraki must clear himself.

Enough of the drama already. Saraki should just appear as requested, give his statement and go back home already. He's still innocent until proven guilty.

Ok

I have two words. Counter Litigation.

Sarki is not above the law, he should honour the invitation and enjoy the change he helped to foster on us

This can only happen in Nigeria;
* They accuse you of False Asset Declaration, you summoned the judge.

* EFCC Chairman asked you to explain your roles in some corruption allegations, you declared him not fit for the office.

* They impounded your Range Rover for Fake Duty Documents, You summoned the Customs Boss, declared him unfit for the office.

* They challenged your failure to implement Mokwa-Jebba road contract, you castigated,blackmailed and eventually summoned the Works Minister.

Your colleague distanced himself from your alleged atrocities, you suspended him.

Another colleague distanced himself from your anti-people resolutions, you suspended him too

Some suspected Criminals alleged you have been their gang's godfather, you declared the IGP enemy of democracy.

* Now, the President said he can't interfere in Police investigations, you are threatening him with Impeachment...Hmmmmm

It can only happen in Nigeria

If dont know ,that's the consequence of "I belong to everybody, And I belong to Nobody" !!!.

Nigeria police no well at all ,why did it take them another two days to talk and what made them to change their earlier invitation only to ask saraki to respond by writing .awon werey

My own concern is that all this have exposed the fact that there is no security in Nigeria . if the IGP can come up with such information on a politician just because he has a problem with him then the country is finished. That means if saraki is in his good books he will be praised and even decorated by the IGP

Shameless Buhari govt again ..this is further proof once more that this is nothing but a vindictive witch hunt by the evil govt ...so because the Senate gave Buhari a standing 12 point order to meet up or get impeached the police are now withdrawing the withdrawal of their invitation to Saraki.. hahahahaha ...Buhari you will fail on the Name of the Living God.

Confused IGP
Confused Buhari
Confused APC government

This is probably the most poorly ran confused government in Nigeria's short history.... that says a lot.
