The Nigeria Police Force informed that the Senate President is still under investigation after the suspects further indicted him.

According to Jimoh Moshood, the Force Public Relations Officer, while addressing journalists, in Abuja, on Wednesday, the two suspects confessed to being political thugs for the Senate President and that they accompanied Senator Saraki to the palace of the traditional ruler of Offa, Olofa of Offa on a condolence visit after the robbery.

Saraki was earlier indicted by five of the Offa bank robbery suspects who confessed to the crime on Sunday.

The five gang leaders had earlier claimed that they were political thugs of the Senate President and the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed.

Moshood on Wednesday added that Saraki was further indicted as the five gang leaders paraded on Sunday celebrated with Senator Saraki during his daughter’s wedding and they appeared in the same outfit (Aso Ebi) with the wife of the Senate President.

Also, Ayoade Akinnibosun, who is the gang leader has insisted that they are only political thugs to the Senate President and that he had no knowledge that they perpetrated the criminal act.

The Senate President, however, denied the allegations. He dismissed on Sunday that he has no link with criminals. Saraki also described the allegations as ‘baseless’ and “another ploy by the Police to implicate him by all means.”

The Offa robbery attack which occurred on April 5, 2018, has since left a lingering sour taste. According to the police, 33 persons including some pregnant women and nine police officers were killed in the attack. The police force has however promised that they will not be intimidated in the discharge of their duties.

At the Wednesday plenary, the controversial Senator asked Senate President Bukola Saraki for permission to leave his allotted seat and move to the opposition side of the Senate chamber.

He specifically asked that he wants to sit beside the former Senate President, David Mark.

According to Senator Melaye, his reason for wanting a change of seat is probably because is no longer comfortable in his present seat after his ordeal with the police.

But the lawmakers from the ruling APC kicked against the move by Senator Melaye arguing that it is against the constitution.

Meanwhile, the opposition lawmakers welcomed the change of seat by Senator Dino Melaye.

Though, he is yet to formally join the PDP. To do so officially, Melaye would have to write the Senate president of his decision to leave his party and join the opposition. The letter would then be read during Senate plenary.

However, Melaye’s body language has revealed his next political drift to join PDP.

Earlier while raising point of order, Melaye appreciated his colleagues, members of the House of Representatives, his constituents and Nigerians for supporting him during his travails.

Also, he thanked the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for its support.
