Fani-Kayode defends Saraki over Offa bank robbery

Former Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has defended Senate President, Bukola Saraki over the police invitation to him to appear before the Force in connection with investigation into the Offa bank robbery attack that claimed many lives in April.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, had on Sunday disclosed that some of the suspects arrested in connection with the Offa bank robbery, had allegedly indicted Saraki and the Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed.

AS a result of the alleged indictment, the Police summoned the Senate President for questioning.

It would be recalled that Saraki had earlier claimed that the Police was plotting to frame him up in a criminal case.

Reacting to the development, Fani-Kayode stated on Twitter that Saraki was not a murderer or sponsor of armed robbers, pointing out that he has known the lawmaker for 40 years.

Fani-Kayode wrote, “I have known @bukolasaraki for 40 years and our families were close.

“I may not agree with him on many things, including his choice of pol. party, but one thing that I can say is this: he is not an armed robber or a murderer and he is not a sponsor of armed robbers and murderers.”
