President Muhammadu Buhari, through his Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, has waded into the rift involving the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Ibrahim Idris, and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Senator Danjuma Goje.
This is even as reports emerged that the Police has returned the documents carted away from the Senator’s Abuja home, during a recent raid.
Enang, in the letter on Thursday, said the Presidency intervened by reaching out to both parties involved, and resorted to dialogue, as a way of reaching a positive resolution on the matter.
Enang, confirmed that all items taken from the residence of Senator Goje during the course of the raid on the latter’s residence last week, have been returned to the Lawmaker.
The statement reads: “Further to the visit of the Nigeria Police Force to the residence of his Excellency, Senator Danjuma Goje, CON, in the course of routine duties where-from certain items were taken by the Police, and issues subsequently arising, I am to inform all that all the items taken in the course of routine Police duties, have been returned to the Distinguished Senator at his house, by the Nigeria Police.
“Further, to state that all other issues relating to the subject matter are being addressed, with a view to positive resolution.
“Meanwhile, we sincerely appreciate the Senate and the House of Representatives, for the enormous work that they have put in to ensure timely passage of the 2017 Appropriation Bill.”
Recall, that Goje had after the raid on his residence, told Nigerians that the Police was to blame, if the Senate was unable to pass the 2017 budget in the time promised.
He claimed that the Police carted away documents relating to the budget, from his house during the raid, a claim the Police authorities said was untrue.
