Saraki’s residence had come
under siege by some policemen but that they later left even before our
correspondent’s arrival.
Senate President Bukola
Saraki may have gone into hiding following the invitation extended to him by
the police to report and answer questions relating to the armed robbery in Offa
in April.
The police had on Monday
night said Saraki should appear at its Intelligence Response Team at Guzape in
Abuja by 8.am today.
However, Saraki in a
statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Yusuph Olaniyonu last
night accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being behind the fresh
police invitation.
When our correspondent went
to Saraki’s house at about 8.am this morning at Maitama District, it was observed
that only few vehicles were parked with only few people carrying out their
normal activities.
Correspondent contacted
Olaniyonu about the whereabouts of his principal, he said he could not confirm
as he had no access to the house.
He said he was in the
residence early in the morning and that when he saw “massive police deployment
on the street,” he decided to leave.
Also, the spokesman to Ike
Ekweremadu, the Deputy Senate President, Uche Anichukwu, said on telephone that
his principal’s house was under siege by the police.
