Saraki sends ADC to collect police invitation letter

Senate President Bukola Saraki has dispatched his aide-de-camp (ADC) to the police headquarters in Abuja to obtain the invitation asking him to appear before the law enforcement agency over the April 5 bank robberies in Offa, Kwara State.

In a tweet on Monday, Saraki said he is sending his ADC to collect the police invitation letter so that he could honour the invitation.

The Nigeria police had on Sunday in a statement disclosed that Saraki was wanted for questioning after some suspects allegedly linked him to the robberies that claimed at least 33 lives in Offa.

Read Saraki’s tweet below:

@bukolasaraki
”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.”

The 55-year-old Senate President had earlier denied any link with the suspects.

A statement by his spokesman, Yusuph Olaniyonu, on Sunday described the police statement as “a baseless allegation and another ploy by the Police to implicate him by all means.”
