The Chairman, Senator
Committee on the Federal
Capital Territory, FCT,
Senator Dino Melaye, has
raised an alarm over what
he called a plan by certain
individuals to doctor the
Police report on the
investigation of allegation of
forgery leveled against the
leadership of the Senate so
as to make the report to
indict Senate President,
Bukola Saraki and his
Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
Melaye, in a statement in
Abuja on Monday, stated that
those behind the sinister plot
are scheming to forge a
police report different from
the one signed by AIG James
Caulcrick in order to justify
and prove a case of forgery
against the Senate President
and his Deputy. The federal
lawmaker representing Kogi
Central said it was
necessary for members of
the public to be aware of the
“unlawful plan”.
His words, “We have our
own sources and we have
been reliably informed that
the prosecution having
realized that there is a big
hole in their case against
Saraki and Ekweremadu who
were not mentioned in the
police report, are now trying
to doctor the report and
include the names of both
presiding officers of the
Senate. We are aware of that
development and we want
members of the public to
know the level of
desperation that these
people are ready to go to
nail the Senate President and
his deputy.
“It is because of this plan
that they refused to include
the police report in the
process they filed in court.
We have said it repeatedly
that the government and
specifically, the Attorney
General of the Federation
(AGF), Mr. Abubakar Malami
has no case against our
presiding officers. They filed
the case to distract the two
men, embarrass them, force
a change of leadership and
eventually cow the Senate, in
particular, and the National
Assembly, in general.
“The forgery case is the
height of desperation by
some elements to bring down
the legislature. Malami has a
personal agenda to achieve
an objective for which he
has been hired as a counsel
by a few aggrieved
Senators. Now, a court has
affirmed our claim that he is
abusing his office and that
there is a conflict of interest
involving him.
“The said police report is
already in the public space.
The media has published it
verbatim. We will be watching
them to see how they will
smuggle Saraki and
Ekweremadu’s names into it.
This is the height of
desperation and we will
continue to monitor
developments on it. It is
clear those who initiated this
forgery suit against the
leadership of the Senate
know that they have made a
mistake. They should cut
their losses and discontinue
the error.

What if the court decides that the forgery did indeed take place.Does it not nullify the election that produced Saraki and Ekweremadu?
I think it does
