Offa is like Saraki’s second home but robbery incident must be investigated – Community leaders

Offa Descendants Union (ODU), an umbrella association of indigenes of Offa ancient town in Kwara state, has charged the Nigeria police to be thorough in its investigation of the Offa bank robbery incident to ensure equity and justice.

 

The ODU president, Alhaji Najeem Yasin, and the secretary-general, Hadjia (Chief) Wosilat Tinuke Macarthy, made the call in reaction to the implication of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, in the case.

The Nigeria Police had on Sunday, invited Saraki for questioning over his alleged involvement in the Offa bank robbery attack in Kwara State.

However, Yasin, in a statement, noted that Saraki had always considered Offa as a second home, while calling on media outfits to validate reports being disseminated to the public.

 “The community, therefore, holds the Senate President in high esteem, however, this is not to distract or disturb the investigation by the police,” the union said.
