Police Nabs Four Suspects for Stealing Saraki’s Money

Kwara State police command has nabbed four suspects including two policemen for allegedly stealing huge sums of money at the Ilofa GRA, Ilorin residence of senate president, Senator Bukola Saraki. Shortly before the incident occurred, Saraki visited Ilorin and after his departure, some people believed to be his aides broke into one of the rooms and stole huge sum of money. Since then, men of the state police command swung into action in order to unravel those allegedly behind the act.

The Kwara State government was quick to deny that it gave the said money to the senate president as alleged by an online newspaper in it’s facebook account.

THISDAY checks revealed that men of the state police command at the state criminal investigation bureau through their full investigation were able to arrest four suspects in connection with the stealing.

It was also learnt that the installation of closed circuit camera at the senate president residence aided in fishing out of the suspects as the camera openly showed them while they were perpetrating the act.

Sources close to the police command told journalists in Ilorin that the affected suspects were now being detained at the state criminal investigation bureau at the state headquarters, Ahmadu Bello way, Ilorin for further interrogation.

Sources said the suspects comprise of two policemen, one Nigeria Security Civil Defence Corps(NSCDC) officer and a driver.

It was further learnt that the suspects should have been arraigned before the state high court on Monday but the men of the state police command were yet to complete their final investigations of the affected suspects.

When contacted on the development yesterday, the state police command Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Mr. Ajayi Okansanmi, said: “I am not officially briefed on the arrest of four persons in connection with the stealing of the money at the Ilorin residence of senate president, Senator Bukola Saraki.”
