President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, on Thursday, said he had forwarded his written defence to the police on the allegation that he had links with armed robbery suspects arrested over the attacks on banks in Offa, Kwara State.

Saraki made the announcement on his social media platforms.

He wrote, “In line with their request, earlier today the police received my response to their letter on the investigation into the Offa robbery case.”

It was learnt from a source in the Senate that the Senate President involved his lawyers in the drafting of the defence.

When contacted, Saraki’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu, confirmed to our correspondent that the defence had been filed. He, however, declined to speak further on the matter.

The multiple attacks on April 5, 2018, had left 33 persons dead, while the suspects had alleged that they were Saraki’s political thugs, an allegation that the Senate President had denied.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Jimoh Moshood, while parading the suspects said the police had given Saraki one week to come forward for questioning.

Saraki had in a statement on Sunday stated that he was ready to honour a formal invitation by the police.

The Senate President, however, alleged that it was a plot to embarrass him. He asked the public to disregard the claim by the police as baseless and another ploy to implicate him by all means.

On Monday, he said he was ready to honour an invitation by the police.

“I have just informed my ADC to get the letter of invitation from @PoliceNG in respect of the allegations raised yesterday — so that I can immediately honour the alleged invitation,” Saraki said on social media.

Later on the same day, Saraki said he had received a letter from the police asking him to make his defence in writing by Wednesday and not to appear in person.

Way to go

Everybody is just getting excited in the saraki news for nothing. People like saraki never loses. With his army if sans and his bottomless pocket.



#Get that visa

good. but why can't ig honor senate invitations also.

Later on the same day, Saraki said he had received a letter from the police asking him to make his defence in writing by Wednesday and not to appear in person.

This is contrary to what the police PRO said yesterday: He insisted that Saraki must present himself before the police and answer questions about illegal arms running. Someone is trying hard to mislead the public. The police invitation still stands; the blood of the 33 innocent souls including a pregnant woman MUST NOT be overshadowed by politics.

The Senate President, however, alleged that it was a plot to embarrass him. He asked the public to disregard the claim by the police as baseless and another ploy to Implicate Him By All Means.

During The Time of David Mark, We Didn't Hear of This Type Of Rubbish, God Bless PDP And Punish The Devil Called APC.
Come To Think Of It,
Saraki Is An APC Senator Albeit The Sitting Senate President, So APC As A Political Party Cannot Even Set It Own House In Order, Right From The Word Go, It Had Been One Controversy or The Other In The Senate Under APC. From Sen. Dino Melaye To Sen. Omo Agege and Senate Mace, How Can They Rule This Country Successfully?, No Wonder There Is Confusion All Over The Land.
