Senate President Bukola Saraki says he has sent his aide-de-camp (ADC) to collect a letter from the police inviting him for questioning over the Offa bank robberies of April 5.
The police had on Sunday announced that Saraki was wanted for questioning after some suspects allegedly linked him to the robberies that claimed at least 33 lives in the Offa area of Kwara State.
Kwara Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, was allegedly named by the suspects too.
Reacting in a Twitter post on Monday, Saraki said he sent his security aide to go collect the police invitation letter “so that I can immediately honour the alleged invitation.”
I have just informed my ADC to get the letter of invitation from @PoliceNG in respect of the allegations raised yesterday — so that I can immediately honour the alleged invitation.

The 55-year-old had earlier denied any link with criminal elements.
A statement by Saraki’s spokesman, Yusuph Olaniyonu, on Sunday described the police statement as “a baseless allegation and another ploy by the Police to implicate him by all means.”
