don't u understand simple English , he saraki empower those boys with arms for thuggery purposes, the report didn't say he send them for rubbery, he buy weapons for them for election purpose, read the message and understand pls, stop displaying ur foolishness to the public pls.

Pataricatering:
the dismissed police officer gave them the weapons used for the operation but the gang leader clearly said Saraki and the governor gave them weapons for election thuggery !

Olalan:
We are hearing all this cause of the troubled relationship between the Senate and presidency. If truly the police is effective let them begin to unravel all past political assisinations.
As at last check Nigeria is one country you can get away with any lawless act even if it involves killings if you are rightly connected to the powers in authority.

madridguy:
From this report, without bias mind, you will accept that truly Saraki need to be humble and honor the Police invitation.

Meanwhile, I wish the Nigeria Police can release video, photo or any other evidence to back up this claim " “For your information, 48 hours after the Offa armed robbery operation and killings, the four gang leaders of the group that perpetrated the devilish act, accompanied the delegation of the Senate President to visit the Olofa of Offa to console with him over the killings.”

Why should I claim ownership when the owner of all five rifles used in the robbery a certain Micheal Idikwu is in police custody ...I would rather the police use channel this energy to find out where it's ex operative Micheal Idikwu got 5 perfectly working Ak 47s from

Ghostmode2two:
The police is giving very disjointed story line. Did the robbers confessed that Saraki sent them to rob the banks? Why didn't the police arrest the 4 gang leaders when they accompanied Saraki to the oba's palace?

escodotman:
Sue them for what?? The IGP that was invited by a constituted authority several times and refused to appear, or the IGP who disobeyed the President's order? You are intellectually messed up and deficient, a stupid and ignorant son of a whor£

GavelSlam:


Had Buhari been pictured with a Boko Haram suspect who claimed a mere wheelbarrow was bought for.him by the president, we know what your statement would have been.

Hypocrite.

jaybee3:


Stop panting already... Calm your nerves down

The IG was able to defy their request because of the vagueness of our constitution with respect to duplication of roles and legislative responsibilities.

The right thing for him to do is to clear his name and sue them if they are found wanting not acting like he is above the law

CilicMarin:


Ipob are terrorists group among the Igbos, just like Boko Haram among the Hausas.

Nigerian Law says so.

hatedisplace:
so what has igbo or ipob got to do with offa robbery. If u have common sense that was the question.

Angelfrost:


Son of a what??! Really? You had to drag his mother into your self-righteous tirade? What is wrong with you??! Can't you rationally chastise an individual without abusing his parents??! This is so Nigerian, and all shades of wrong... Better humbly tender an unreserved apology to his mother now!...
Besides, sons of women of loose virtues still come out right and successful, learn to choose your words with caution no matter how offended you are... Your parents must have raised you better than this!

escodotman:
It seems you've not been following the news at all. Go back to the press statement by the spokeperson of the Nigerian police. He categorically said based on the confession of the gang leaders, the Senate President knew about the robbery and must submit himself to the nearest police station to him!

Kayus4real:
Abuja —The Police said, yesterday, that 48 hours after the Offa bank robbery that claimed the lives of over 30 persons, including nine policemen, four of the gang leaders accompanied the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, to the palace of the Olofa of Offa, Oba Muftau Gbadamosi Esuwoye, to sympathise with him.
They also said it was necessary for the Senate President to explain why he purchased prohibited arms for the suspects, insisting he had a case to answer.

A source at the SARS office in Abuja, told Vanguard, yesterday, that contrary to widely publicized report, which indicated that Saraki was invited because of his role in the robbery attack, the Senate President was only invited to explain why he allegedly purchased illegal and prohibited weapons used to kill innocent and law-abiding people.

According to the source, “it is an offence to purchase prohibited weapons for criminals in whatever guise, be it thuggery or whatever you call it.

“For your information, 48 hours after the Offa armed robbery operation and killings, the four gang leaders of the group that perpetrated the devilish act, accompanied the delegation of the Senate President to visit the Olofa of Offa to console with him over the killings.”
The source disclosed that Police investigators during interrogation of the suspects also discovered that one of the gang leaders was putting on the same ankara clothing specially invited guests wore on the day of Bukola Saraki’s daughter’s wedding in Kwara State.
“So from these and other discoveries, there is really the need for the Senate President to explain these links. Nobody is saying otherwise,’’ the source added.

escodotman:
You don't think it's worthy of note that the police is changing their motive for inviting him? They first said he needed to present himself to a police station nearest to him because the gang leaders confessed he knew about the robbery, before saying he didn't need to appear but should rather send a written statement? Their first press statement was played on the T.V! What's now your point?

ernieboy:
while I don't want to be an advocate for saraki are u seriously suggesting that we take allegations by the police as the absolute truth? the Nigerian police I know are experts at forging allegations and lies, there are numerous folks who are in police custody now, not because they committed an offence but they were frame with false allegations by the police. we have also seen numerous instances where the police pick up well dressed boys on the street only to get to the station and stick an allegation on them.

Pataricatering:
? Nobody said he was involved in the armed robbery incident ? The gang members didn’t say it and even in the above statement the police repeated that they didn’t say he was involved in any robbery ! His alleged offense is arming the gang members !

xtravanganza:

why do you hate igbos so much.

maestroferddi:
He has not been pictured because nobody has the time for the demonic nitpicking, vendetta and implication bazaar for which Buhari and APC have achieved global notoriety.

Buhari was elected to deliver on the dividends of democracy but because he has achieved astronomic failure, he has been engrossed in the futile attempt to emasculate the opposition and perceived enemies.

He will fail with a thud. Mark my words. Abacha tried it and we know the way the cat jumped...

CilicMarin:


Ipob are terrorists group among the Igbos, just like Boko Haram among the Hausas.

Esseite:


What link really?
They were part of his empowerment largesse?
Campaign Vehicles?
Empowerment stipends?

Link being political thugs during elections:
Did he arm them? No from evidence statements
Did he empower the youths with vehicles? Yes
Were the vehicles in his name? No
The vehicle carried a N20 brand new sticker 3 years after the programme ended..

Some may not like saraki in kwara, same for Tinubu in Lagos, same for shettima in Bornu, likewise for okorocha in Imo but this allegation to smite him is hogwash.

read The above statement - the police repeat they are not accusing him of involvement in the robbery ! He is just accused of buying weapons for election thuggery !

escodotman:
I said it, you are an ignorant enity. Why don't you consult a lawyer close to you, better still a law firm in your village. Just last week, all service chiefs were summoned by the senate including, Defence, DSS, Navy and Army, and guess what...they all appeared! Just a couple of days ago, the National security adviser to the President, Babangana Mongonu honoured the Senate's invitation! But here you are, foolishly defending an abberation to the constitution of the country and principle of seperation of powers, on why IGP never honoured the invitation of the Senate institution. People like you are a threat to democracy!!

jaybee3:


I'm certainly not going to give up on the he-goat that you are.

I mentioned the vagueness in our constitution which has allowed some of those mofos (Yes they are all mofos) to disregard their invitation to NASS.

CilicMarin:
Ipob pigs, come and do your morning duty.

maestroferddi:
But all politicians including Buhari are guilty of the same offense purportedly committed by Saraki...

So what are you talking about?
