The Nigerian Police
Force has asked Senate President Bukola Saraki to respond in writing to
allegations linking him to the Offa bank robbery, within 48 hours rather
than appearing in person.
The announcement
comes minutes after Vice President Yemi Osinbajo met behind
closed-doors with the Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, as
well as the head of State Security Service, Lawal Daura, at the State
House.
The police had said on Sunday that it would be
inviting Saraki as five of the robbery suspects, reported to have
confessed to the crime, indicted him.
The five gang leaders
had claimed that they were political thugs of the Senate President and
the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed.
