A source at the SARS office in Abuja stated that the Senate President was not invited because of his role in the robbery attack, but rather, he was invited to explain his reason for allegedly purchasing illegal and prohibited weapons that were used in killing innocent people.

The source also disclosed that during interrogations of the suspects, the police investigators discovered that one of the gang leaders was putting on the same Ankara clothing that was worn by specially invited guests on the day of Bukola Saraki’s daughter’s wedding in Kwara State.

“From these discoveries, there is a need for the Senate President to explain himself” the source added.
