they are his boys(no doubt about that)
but that he sent them out for robbery is what no man yet can prove.
every politician works with thugs(directly and indirectly)

fyneguy:


You are the unreasonable one here!

In the cause of Offa robbery investigation, the suspects said they were political thugs used by Saraki and the Government to perpetrate heinous crimes, including assassination!

Are you suggesting that the Police should overlook that confession and stick to the robbery case?

andyanders:
One thing with politics in Nigeria is that you must be a criminal to go into politics in Nigerian. Politicians cannot allow you play any politics or join their party, unless you are ready to kill. What this Oyedepo stated should be the truth of the matter. Saraki I believe,did not and cannot ask or send them to rob,but as a politician, he must have local criminals that would always fight for them during election. This is what all of them does in all states of the federation. It is a pity that Saraki's local thugs took advantage of their position to rob and kill such number of innocent civilians. Roping him into the robbery by those boys has political undertone. Still, it is just to tell us the extent politicians can go when they needed power at all cost. These local thugs they kill their percieved enemies during election and they get rewarded once they achieve their aim.

Wiseandtrue:
What I know is that it is not only Saraki that has thugs

If they are to arrest politicians with thugs from numbers 1-5, TINUBU will be number 1 on that list!

So why make it Saraki's affair as if other politicians are saints

Now if you are talking about stealing and murdering at the Offa bank, no sane mind will ask you not to persecute Saraki if he is found wanting

If the Nigerian police already have evidences against him, follow due process now, charge him to court! Very Simple!

And bless you too my brother. One should be careful over this issue. This case is like an employer who hired a company driver and in his absence, uses the car to rob or commit crime. During investigation, the employer could be mentioned, but that does not translate that the employer was part of the crime his employee commited. Saraki cannot be ropped in as an accessary to the crime his thugs commited. This should be a lesson to all Nigerians on the activities of those in politics up to the local government chairman. They recruit local criminals and empower them at all cost to the detriment of the masses.

ahidjo:


Characters like you are not supposed to live with civilized beings. Disgusting!

Tinubu's thugs don't steal, the are well behave

Very very disgusting, it irritate me to the core the way some silly and unintelligent morons are quick to name another politicians to prove innocent their pathetic role model.

Nah not really, its unfair for you to keep mute when ur brother who is a politician does something you keep mute then mine does exact same thing you scream hail stone.

melody91:
so they should free him cause of that?
more than 30 ppl died bros not chicken..and yes all other politicians are guilty of having thugs as well and there days are numbered or whoever thought Saraki would be in this mess? but this is not va case of witch hunting or what do you people call it..Saraki should be treated as a criminal that he is and when others are caught as well, they should be equally brought to justice ...let's stop making excuses for these people, we are always at the receiving end and not them or how many Saraki's or Hammed's family were among those that lost there lives?

Bukola Saraki please resign

[b]for many quote I have received especially those objective without any form of insults, I appreciate and to those who are equally not I also appreciate your quotes

Let me reiterate using Oredein recently posted on nairaland as a case study.

Oredein, and some police officers teamed up with a robber and robbed a bank

Please note that the judge knew that Oredein could distance himself from the robbery and he tendered an overwhelming evidence which Oredein could not deny.

The culpit even tesrified that Oredein knew about the robbery and collects his share

Now my point is this:
If after your investigations, charge him to court!

I only know Saraki as the senate president and nothing more. I am on the side of JUSTICE!
I say things the way they are! Saraki should be CHARGED just like other criminals IF FOUND GUILTY but not based on differences on political ideas!

YOU are all shouting upandan but how many times have we raised issues on the killing by herdsmen Which is OVER 100 people, please be honest, did the Nigerian police/ IGP react like this

please lets not be sentimental about this issue! Ask and answer this question:
1. Why is FULANI is free roaming and killing

2. Look at the list of those facing persecution right now: They are either the oppositions or those with contrary views to Buhari's leadership styles:
a. Shehu Sani
b. Saraki
c. Dino
d. Fayose
e. OBJ
While I am not against the fight against corruption, I am against SELECTIVE JUSTICE!

Buhari is not going to take us to the promise land with lies and propaganda![/b]

ntyce:



Do you know the number of people killed in Offa?

Can you tell me how many people were killed in:
1. Benue

2. Taraba

3. Adamawa

4. Abia (during Nnamdi saga)

5. In just concluded APC saga

Has any sponsors being mentioned

Has anyone being arrested

Or are you saying that those who lost their lives are not human or not more than that of offa to elicit response from the Nigerian police

ericsmith:

every politician has thugs that is a known fact that is enough reason to arrest or jail any of those politicians,

Name other politicians that have been openly indicted for directly keeping, arming and financing thugs turned robbers?

To make matter worse, they did not only robbed a whole financial institution but wasted over 30 innocent souls, creates panic and civil unrest.

Wiseandtrue:

This is exactly my point!
No to selective justice. You get it

Ebuscoee:


The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kwara State, Chief Iyiola Oyedepo, has stated that the police did not induce the Offa armed robbery suspects to make confessions against Dr. Bukola Saraki.

DAILY POST had reported how the political thugs arrested in connection with the bloody Offa bank robbery indicted the President of the Senate, Saraki and the Kwara State governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed.

Asked in an interview with Punch if President Muhammadu Buhari was victimizing Saraki and Ahmed through the police by linking them to the Offa robbery, Oyedepo said, “No, I do not think so. We must be objective in all our analysis or presentation on this matter.

“We should not tell lies against anybody . The grievances of the nPDP are not the same thing with the criminal allegations levelled against the Senate President and the governor.

“If they are pursuing their demands within their party without any link tocrime, nobody will accuse them of committing any crime. Their nPDP activities have nothing to do with sponsoring thugs in Kwara State.

“If they did not sponsor thugs and if those thugs did not make any confession, I believe that the Presidency and the police will not manufacture lies against the Senate President and the governor.

“For instance, I do not believe that the suspects were induced to make confessional statements because those boys are closely associated with the Government of Kwara State.

“Secondly , the state government and Saraki have bought vehicles for the boys and I have had cause to raise the alarm on a radio programme to
condemn the action in the immediate past.

“The vehicles in possession of the boys are without registered numbers. They were driving them around with customised number plates which have Saraki’s name inscribed on them.

“The fact that the boys were ( allegedly ) on the payroll of the state government was enough to dismiss insinuations that Saraki and Ahmed are being unnecessarily victimised by the police . So , it is better for them to go and clear the grey areas before creating an impression that they are being persecuted . I don’ t believe that they are suffering any form of persecution.

“I have witnessed some of the activities of the boys before and I was even a victim of their acts of thuggery in the past.

“They are used to disturbing the electorate and electoral process in Kwara State. I do not want people to mix the Offa robbery up with the violent activities of the thugs. I am not saying that Saraki participated in the robbery . I cannot even claim that he sent them to go and rob.

“No! But he emboldened them to live a life of crime. The boys relied on the authority of the number three citizen in Nigeria , fully armed with guns and all other instruments of violence , to do anything because they also enjoy the legitimate cover of government.

“Anybody with such patronage from high places will definitely take to the life of crime. So , the issue of robbery is a separate case . It is a known fact that Saraki and Ahmed are making use of those boys to perpetrate violence against perceived enemies during elections . When they are short of funds, they take to robbery.

“There is therefore, a nexus between the encouragement and patronage they are getting from the state government and the crime they committed.

“So that is what we should look at instead of putting up an argument that they were not sent to go and rob.”

Buhari is not going to take us to the promise land with lies and propaganda!
I make bold to tender a recent happening:
1. The killings of the just cincluded APC primaries in Ekiti where lives were lost!

2. Fulani killings on a daily basis, has any sponsors being mentioned?

3. MURIC has made more hate speeches than I have ever heard anywhere yet they roam freely while the police arrests any common man who dare speaks against the president

4. Mayetti Allah or whatever they called themselves owned up to the killings in Benue, where is the police And alot of instances like that!

I repeat: NO TO SELECTIVE JUSTICE while FG corrects this abnormalities, if Saraki is found guilty, do not spare the rod in fact I will be amongst the first to condemn him

Thank you!
