police backpedaled and rather than asking saraki to report at guzape police station in the federal capital of abuja now asked him to send a written response1 following my earlier tweet i have received the letter from . they are no longer asking me to appear at any station but to respond in writing to the allegations within 48 hours which i plan to do1 senate president bukola saraki said he will send a written response to the allegations made against him by the nigerian police linking him with robbery in offa on 5 april1 a lexus jeep gx-300 ash colour with a sticker plate number with inscription saraki kwara state of harmony used by the gang leader ayoade akinnibosun during the bank robbery and the killing of the 33 innocent persons was taken to government house ilorin on 16th may

overall commander of the offa bank ro1 on sunday the police announced they have invited saraki over the 5 april multiple bank robberies in offa during which 33 persons including nine policemen were killed1 opinions were divided across nigeria over the invitation following police statement that some five ringleaders of the offa robbery indicted the senate president and the governor of kwara state abdulfatah ahmed1 according to the police the chief of staff to the governor and the personal assistant to the governor have been arrested in connection with the case1 saraki had earlier tweeted that he had asked his aide-de-camp to collect the letter of invitation from the police in respect of the allegations as he wanted to honour the alleged invitation1 saraki responded some hours later asking nigerians to disregard the police allegation1 saraki in a statement by his media adviseryusuph olaniyonu described the allegation as baseless and another ploy by the police to implicate him by all means1 let it be known that there is no way i could have been associated with armed robbery against my people saraki said1 this plot is concocted to embarrass me and in the mind of the igp it is his own response after his refusal to honour the invitation by the national assembly headed me for him to come and offer explanations on the rampant killings and violence across the country1 like the earlier one this frame-up will also fail as i hereby state categorically that i have no link with any band of criminals1 as a person who has utmost respect for the rule of law and all constitutional institutions when the invitation from the police is formally extended to me i will be ready to honour it without any delay1 it is however sad that this abuse of the criminal investigation process aimed at intimidating and over-overawing the legislature thereby obstructing it from doing its work is a big threat to our democracy the senate president stated1
