Kwara State Judiciary, to bring back some criminal
suspects who had been transferred to Abuja on

murder and criminal conspiracies; and the
spokesperson for the Nigerian Police Force,
Jimoh Moshood, stated that they were
transferred to the nations’ capital for further
investigation into the matter, Vanguard reports. As

notes that Senate president Bukola
Saraki, however, alleged that the move was a
ploy by Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris
to frame him; and drew the attention of his
colleagues to the alleged plot at the Senate’s
plenary on Wednesday, May 16.
Saraki stated: “Investigation has been completed and
they were about to be under prosecution under the state law
on the advice of the DPP (Department of Public
Prosecution) and the (state) Ministry of Justice. All of a
sudden, the suspects were ordered to be transferred to
Abuja.”
Following the disclosure, Saraki subsequently led
nine senators to report the matter to President
Muhammadu Buhari.


Meanwhile,adegokblog .com previously reported that the
Police IG, Ibrahim Idis, responded to Dr Saraki’s
allegations .
Idris in a statement issued by Jimoh Moshood,
Police spokesman, said this was far from the
truth. He however admitted that some cultists in
Kwara state had confessed to killing some
persons and that according to Police procedure,
were transferred to Abuja.
He reminded the Senate president that
interfering in a police investigation remains a
crime; and said the Police will do its work,
regardless of those who may be involved.
