Sterope:
Law aside

An unknown guy that was awfully close to him during his daughter's wedding? That is interesting.


The IGP also planned for the guys to rob the banks and kill over 25 people. More interesting!

I like Saraki anyways. He does not try hard to be what he is not. I look forward to his gameplan.

nuele:
With the evidence provided so far. The senate president has a case to answer.

Jaideyone:
can you attend the SP's daughter's wedding and get that close to him when you don't have a personal relationship with him?

Jeezuzpick:


The law doesn't have to make scientific sense sometimes.

Its the court that will decide this, not a committee of professors.

Question 1: Is this photograph enough evidence that Saraki sponsored the hoodlums?

Question 2: Why did this picture show up in the police's hands at such an opportune time among the thousands obviously taken at that event?

maestroferddi:
Your mumu never do?

Jeezuzpick:


Substitute Miyetti Allah for Boko Haram, then read your post again, knowing full well that Miyetti Allah has been venting about Anti-grazing legislation and PMB is their life patron!

Sterope:
No. It is not enough. However that is not what the suspects are alleging. You can read up for that.

I's question number 2 supposed to be a trick question?

Jaideyone:
what is this illiterate saying? get lost pls

maestroferddi:
But you accepted you are a mumu...

sonnie10:
Is Saraki responsible for what people do in their private time?

The argument here is so dumb. What this means is that people should be held accountable for the activities of every guest that ever attended their event.

ivandragon:
OK...

while I strongly believe Saraki needs to 'answer' for the matter, the way the police are trying so hard to paint saraki guilty by association is not too professional...


it's just like saying that because pmb supports the spread of Islam in Nigeria & was once nominated as spokesperson for BH, then he is a sponsor of BH or has an association beyond the surface...

or does he?...

Jeezuzpick:


The allegation is that Saraki sponsored the goons' nefarious activities while he was governor. That's more than three years ago, and, seriously, the police had better come up with something better than a photograph.

Question 2 is a rhetorical question.

Jaabioro:
Whether you like it on not the guy or the suspects are very close to Saraki .He Saraki may not be aware about the robbery. Therefore the closeness gave,or boosted their evils moral ..and more over they might have been involved in others crimes, he Saraki...been their political leader using his position to get them off...Saraki still have more question to answer.

linearity:


I think the Presidency is interfering to seek a soft landing for Saraki.

If you observed very well, the switch from the demand for him to come to the station to submitting a written explanation happened after the closed door meeting between the IGP and VP.

Personally, I don’t think Saraki is involved directly with the Robbery, he can steal more money through a mere struck of the pen. But these are his thugs that do his dirty biddings in Kwara State and he is their financial.

Any good prosecutor can obtain a conviction if they charged him as an accessory. It can be argued that, he was an enabler through his financial contributions to this gangs.

Jaideyone:
how do you expect the police to arrest him when youths like us are already screaming witch-hunt? the police had to soft-pedal so it won't look like the executive is coming after the legislature

blazer2018:
It shows how close the guy is to Saraki...to think that a nobody will come this close to the Sen. Pres. is sickening

pafisayo:


I still don’t understand why Nigerians don’t think through at all.
The allegation is Saraki Armed these people no one is saying Saraki sent them to Robb.
These pictures are just evidence the Person in question has some sort of relationship with the Saraki! From the picture this dude was just arms length distance from mr Senate President even with all the Protocol at His own party that’s gonna be filled with political Digniteries .
Some youth are already making excuse for Saraki about how people gate crash important people’s party ..
funny enough with all that’s been going on Sarakis team are yet to reply in simple English that : their is not affiliation what so ever with this dude .

Lexusgs430:
So because he attended the wedding? This IGP is clueless....

writerights:


Can you ever get that close to the senate president even in a market place? Make we tear God o.

sonnie10:


This is dangerous precedence. If this evidence is allowed, the judicial system would be towing the slippery slope. It then stands that each time someone photo bombs you, you are an accomplice.
Nigeria is heading south. This could be interpreted as a retaliatory move if you remember the IG's earlier refusal to honor an invitation from the house in Dino's case.

Zico5:
They can destroy themselves as they like. They are all reaping what they sow.

writerights:


May I ask what evidences may fully convince you that Saraki used those boys as his political thug other than these ones available? Would you need to see him with guns or taking selfies with them? What else do you need please?

Saraki is a public figure and has a large number of supporters. He's not an ordinary man you can allege and go to bed, else you'll wake up under a burning roof. You have to inform the public of each progress as you make them.

I'm really sad educated Nigerians are really myopic and not liberal to view this matter from an unbiased point of view. I don't like Buhari and he'd be squarely dealt with in due time but I can't abet criminality for that reason.

Bossontop:

Bros i no talk say no be criminal infact to me all politicians na thieves dem be.....but bring beta evidence not some half-assed evidence dat will not even hold water in court

sonnie10:

Say the truth, can you stop such guy from entry into any public event in his area?
That is exactly the point. What drives most to crime in the first place is their quest to prove to people that they too are dining with the high and mighty.

This is Nigeria . Any young man with easy money (albeit ill gotten) and spending power in a small town like Offa cannot hide.
