Saraki tells IGP to send officers investigating Offa robbery to his office

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki has asked Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police (IGP), to send his personnel to his office to take further statements on the robbery incident that took place in Offa, Kwara state, in April.

The Police boss asked Saraki to report to the office of the intelligence response team (IRT) over the robbery incident which claimed the lives of 31 people in Osun State.

The police said the suspects arrested in connection with the incident named Saraki as their sponsor.

But in a letter dated July 24 and addressed to the IGP, Saraki said President Muhammadu Buhari had given a directive that if the police wanted additional information, they were to either send a police personnel or get a written response from him.

He explained that if he had honoured the invitation while Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president, was prevented from leaving his residence, their absence would have “voided the sitting of the senate”.
