In a statement issued by its spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, the Force said should Saraki refuse to honour its invitation, it “will not hesitate to use all the instruments of the law to ensure” he complies.
The Inspector General of Police,
Ibrahim Idris had asked Saraki to appear at the office of the Intelligence
Response Team (IRT) in Abuja by 8 am on Tuesday, over his link to the robbery
in Offa, Kwara State.
Saraki, however, failed to honour
the summons.
However, the statement by the
Force reads, “The Senate president must honour police invitation; otherwise the
force will not hesitate to use all the instruments of the Law to ensure
compliance with the law.
“The Nigeria Police Force on the
23rd of July, 2018 invited Sen. Bukola Saraki, President of the Senate, Federal
Republic of Nigeria, to report to the head of the investigation team at the
Intelligence Response Team office at Guzape junction, Asokoro Extension, Abuja
today, 24th of July, 2018 at 8 am for further investigation on his indictment
from confessional statements from some of the five (5) gang leaders arrested
for their active participation in the Offa bank robbery and gruesome murder of
more than 31 persons and snatching of 21 AK47 rifles on the 5th of April, 2018
but the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki, President of the Senate, Federal
Republic of Nigeria refused to honour Police invitation as at the time of this
press release.
“The Force, therefore, insists
that the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki, President of the Senate, Federal
Republic of Nigeria is being expected to report to the head of the
investigation team at the Intelligence Response Team office at Guzape junction,
Asokoro Extension, Abuja and should honour the invitation, otherwise the Force
will not hesitate to use all the instruments of the Law to ensure compliance
with the law.”
