A detachment of men of the Nigerian Police Force has reportedly blocked the convoy of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki from leaving his home in the Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
While their mission was not immediately clear, the policemen’s action may not be unconnected with the invitation extended by the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to Saraki over alleged involvement in the infamous Offa Bank Robbery of April 5.
In a Monday letter to the Senate President, Idris had requested that Saraki reports to the Police Headquarters by 8.00am today.
