The President of the Senate Dr Bukola Saraki has responded to the the request by the Nigerian Police urging him to explain his involvement with the Offa Robbery Suspects.
Saraki who took to his twitter handle @BukolaSaraki, said that he had written to the Police as requested.
The Police had announced on Sunday during a press briefing that the Nation’s number three citizen would be invited to explain his links to the suspects.
According to the Police, five of the bandits arrested and who have made confessions during interrogations indicted the President of the Senate.
The spokesperson of the POlice Mr Jimoh Moshood who briefed the press on Sunday, said: “The Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki is being invited by the Nigeria Police Force to report to the Force Intelligence Response Team office at Guzape, Abuja to answer to the allegations leveled against him from the confessions of the Five (5) Gang Leaders, namely; Ayoade Akinnibosun, Ibukunle Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham, Salawudeen Azeez, Niyi Ogundiran and some of the other Seventeen (17) suspects arrested for direct involvement and active participation in the Offa Bank Robbery and the gruesome killing of 33 innocent persons which include some pregnant women and nine Police personnel”, Moshood said.
