Senate President Bukola Saraki has approached President Muhammadu Buhari to institute an inquiry into the death of the prime suspect in the April 5 Offa robbery attacks, Michael Adikwu, because it has several implications for the country’s legal system.

Saraki, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Yusuph Olaniyonu, also noted that the development could affect the nation’s engagement with the international community

He said the international community had consistently cited the issues of human rights abuse and extrajudicial killings by security forces as major reasons for their reluctance to sell arms to Nigeria in the fight against Boko Haram.

The Senate President stated,“One of the key issues those of us who have been engaging with the international community on the need for them to support Nigeria in the fight against terrorism in the North-East through supply of arms, provision of training and other technical aid has been confronting is that of the flagrant abuse of human rights and extrajudicial killings by our security agencies.

“This is an instance of what these international partners complain about. The Presidency should make a point that the present government does not tolerate human rights abuse, extrajudicial killings, politically-motivated criminal investigation and refusal to comply with global best practices by security agencies by instituting an inquiry into the case of the death of this suspect.”

The Senate President called for diligent prosecution of the case so that justice could be done to the innocent victims of the Offa robbery, the suspects facing trial and the state whose peace was disturbed by the sad incident.

What do you want him to say before? , This is Nigeria, asking Buhari to investigate does'nt mean you are Clean...

Mesujamba didn't ask Buhari to investigate the death of over 30 people that were killed by the Robbers but asked the President to investigate why the Robber died. Amazing country.

Chai. Saraki is seriously in sifia pain now by losing one of his trusted special squad ( his main striker). May God give him fortitude to bear the loss.

Highly suspicious. Very happy the assignment was executed according to the dictate of Mesujamba.

I've said it a million times.
Somebody has to be held responsible for Michael Adikwu's death.
We heard what Fayose was told when he was with the EFCC.
That is the truth.
Suspects die and nothing happens.

It is Michael today, tomorrow it could be Dasuki or even Evans.

If i hear say e die. He was never paraded . I smell fish

speechless

Ok

They really want to end Saraki, he never asked for human right when SARS were killing and harrasing everyone or when his political thugs went ahead to rob a bank and kill people. Now that his thug died he wants a whole President to investigate (he thinks buhari would accept nonsense like elder olusola Saraki that he disrespected) Even if the suspect is dead, there is a written stament and a video confession during police press conference

Truth has been killed and evidence erased

Different stories everyday. Which one are we going to believe now

I am sure Saraki killed the man
This world is rigged! Nothing can be done against the elites especially in Africa
This case is as bad as EVANS case but they are doing everything to cover it up because of those involve

Hmm....

Am I thinking what I am thinking...
Of course I am thinking what I am thinking
This thinking is very interesting thinking
Am thinking and thinking...

Hmm.....

Gbam, only accursed ipob goons delude themselves, on his innocence.

Pls, lawyers come to our help. Who should initiate such investigation: the president or the parliament that Saraki presides over? Or the judiciary? Or who? Let us step down on emotion here on NL & step up on reasoning. It will pay us all better. Don't die for any politician because none of them will ever die or even suffer for your sake. #DDF #DontDieFoolishly

Michael Adikwu deserved to die. Someone that has no regard for human life and sprayed over 19 innocent people, should not be fed by tax payers money. Please google images of the victims of offa robbery.

how can suspect die suddenly in police custody

The same man who wouldn't honor a police invitation. He didn't approach Buhari when 33 innocent Nigerians were brutally murdered.

bros at all at all don't you think there should be an investigation in the death of a prime suspect when the case is still on,and the fact that he died in detention is highly suspicious.... they cannot just come here and tell us so so so guy just die like that..i mean wetin kill am....yeah he killed 30 people but he can't just die like that now for police custody ahan...

Ony na-anoghi mgbe eliri ozu, o choro ibo ya o site n'okpa (leg)



I wonder if the Sudanese know about the robbery

?

Who cares if it's Dasuki today and even Evans tomorrow. That guy was beaten to death. I just wish he is alive to suffer more emotional and physical brutality from the reckless police.
