The Offa Descendant Union (ODU) has called on the police to do a thorough investigation to ensure innocent people are not punished.
The union made the call in a statement signed by its President, Alhaji Najeem Yasin and the General Secretary, Chief Wosilat Tinuke Macarthy.
The statement read, “the attention of the community has been drawn to the claims made by the police at a press conference in Abuja that some of the suspects arrested in connection with the robbery incident which occurred in Offa in April has implicated Dr. Abubakr Bukola Saraki, the Senate President.
“While we do not want to prejudice the ongoing investigation by the police on this case, the community will appreciate thoroughness to ensure equity and Justice on the matter.
“Dr. Bukola Saraki, a two-term former Governor of this state and the President of the Senate of this country has always considered Offa as a second home.”
The Offa people are well bred citizens and are always appreciative of kind gestures and immeasurable benevolence. The community therefore holds the Senate President in high esteem however, this is not to distract or disturb the investigation by the police.
“Considering the sensitivity nature of this matter, the community will appreciate if all the social media and media outfits would validate all reports before dissemination.”
