The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, has asked Senate
President Bukola Saraki, to appear at the office of Intelligence Response
Team (IRT) office in Abuja, over the robbery incident that took place in
Offa, Kwara state, in April this year.
In a letter dated July 23 and addressed to Saraki, the police IG asked the
Senate President to be at IRT’s office at 8am on Tuesday “for further
investigation”.
The police had said some of the robbery suspects confessed that they were
Saraki’s thugs, an allegation he has since denied.
The lawmaker was asked to appear at force headquarters for questioning,
but the police eventually said Saraki should not appear in person but
respond to the allegations of the suspects in writing.
