Ibrahim Idris, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has summoned the Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki over the Offa robbery.

Saraki has been asked to appear at the office of Intelligence Response Team (IRT) office in Abuja over the robbery incident that took place in Offa, Kwara state, in April this year.

According to a letter dated July 23 and addressed to Saraki, the police IG asked the Senate President to be at IRT’s office at 8 am on Tuesday “for further investigation”.

The police had said some of the robbery suspects confessed that they were Saraki’s thugs, an allegation he has since denied.

The lawmaker was asked to appear at force headquarters for questioning, but the police eventually said Saraki should not appear in person but respond to the allegations of the suspects in writing.
