Men of the Nigerian Police Force have besieged the Abuja residence of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, located in the Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In the early hours of today (Tuesday, July 24, 2018) the officers were seen blocking the convoy of Saraki thereby preventing him from coming out of his home.

Recall, the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, again invited the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki to report to the Force Intelligence Response Team office at Guzape, Abuja, for interrogation over alleged links to the masterminds of the Offa bank robberies.

The IG in a letter dated July 23 addressed to Saraki, asked him to report to the police on Tuesday (Today) at 8am to provide further clarification on his relationship with the five leaders of the robbery gang.

The robbers had attacked some commercial banks in Offa, Kwara State on April 5 during which nine policemen and 33 persons were killed.
