Police block Senate President's convoy
Officers of the Nigeria Police Force have blocked the convoy of Senate President, Bukola Saraki, at his Abuja residence at Lake Chad Crescent in Maitama on Tuesday, July 24, 2018.
The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, had invited the Senate President to answer questions on his alleged links to the criminal gang that carried out the Offa robbery attack that led to the death of 33 people in April.
In response to the summon, Saraki had said that it was a political persecution but promised to honour the invitation on Tuesday morning.
Videos have emerged on social media showing several police trucks blocking the Senate President's convoy in his neighbourhood.
Uche Anichukwu, the media aide to Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, told Premium Times that the senator is also under siege by security agents, for unexplained reasons.
The Senate President is due to respond to an invitation by the police on Tuesday morning.
