They Did Not Send Us To Rob, We Are Just Their Political Thugs” Gang Leader Explaining Link of Saraki And Governor Ahmed (Audio Recording)

We reported that the Police had invited Saraki, for questioning over his alleged involvement in the offa Bank robbery attack in Kwara State. Reacting, however, in a statement by his spokesperson, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki called on the general public to disregard the allegation.

The Senate President stated: “Let it be known that there is no way I could have been associated with armed robbery against my people. When the Offa robbery incident happened, I was the first top public official to pay a visit to the place and right there in the palace of the traditional ruler, I put a call through to this same Mr. Ibrahim Idris, the IGP, requesting him to make certain specific security arrangements as demanded by the people.

The gang leader of the Offa bank robbery, Ayoade Akinnibosun a.k.a AY, was interrogated by some journalists at the force headquarters yesterday June 3rd.

In an audio recording released by Dailytrust, the gang leader told journalists how he was allegedly linked to Senate President Bukola Saraki and Kwara governor Abdulfatah Ahmed.

According to Ayoade, himself and some others were employed as political thugs of Saraki. The gang leader said wherever they noticed Saraki wasn’t leading in an election, they went in there to disrupt the place.

Asked if Saraki asked himself and others to go and rob the banks, the gang leader said ”No they did not send us but because we are their political thugs, that is what led us to the place” he said

He added he took the Lexus jeep the senate president provided for political activities to the bank robbery scene. He could not answer whether it was Saraki that told him to take the car there. On who supplied them with arms, the gang leader said it was a dismissed police officer, Michael Adikwu who has since been arrested.

The gang leader also blamed the devil for him getting involved in armed robbery.

“Members of the public will remember that on May 16, 2018, I alerted the Senate about the information passed on to me by my State Governor, Dr. Abdulfatai Ahmed, over a plot by the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, to frame me up by getting some suspected cultists arrested in Ilorin to implicate me. It is believed that the timely leakage of the plot in that case aborted the use of the suspected cultists to implicate me. Now, it is the Offa bank robbery suspects that are about to be used.

“This plot is concocted to embarrass me and, in the mind of the IGP, it is his own response after his refusal to honour the invitation by the National Assembly, headed me, for him to come and offer explanations on the rampant killings and violence across the country.

“Like the earlier one, this frame-up will also fail as I hereby state categorically that I have no link with any band of criminals.

“As a person who has utmost respect for the rule of law and all constitutional institutions, when the invitation from the Police is formally extended to me, I will be ready to honour it without any delay.”
