The Death of Michael Adikwu ‘M’ 30Yrs (A Dismissed Police Man and
an Ex- Convict) a sectional gang leader who confessed to have
killed Twenty Two (22) persons including pregnant women and Nine
(9) Police personnel during Offa Bank Robbery cannot vindicate the
Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, the law must take its
course.
Evidence from the Five (5) suspects now in Court are enough to
prosecute the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki
The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to the
innuendo in the media on the death of a sectional gang leader
Michael Adikwu ‘M’ 30Yrs (A Dismissed Police Man and an Ex-
Convict) who confessed to have killed Twenty Two (22) persons
including pregnant women and Nine (9) Police personnel and carted
away of Twenty Two (22) AK 47 Rifles at the Offa Police Divisional
Headquarters during Offa Bank Robbery on the 5th April, 2018, it is
therefore, imperative that the Nigeria Police Force respond to the
publication and set the record straight.
2. The Nigeria Police Force is conversant and mindful of
contempt of Court in commenting on cases already before the Court
of competent jurisdiction, however, the Force is constraint and
compelled to respond to the statement from Mr. Yusuf Olaniyonu,
Special Adviser (Media and Publicity) to the Senate President,
Senator Bukola Saraki and not on the Court processes and
proceedings on the case of Offa Bank Robbery for which Five (5)
principal suspects are now standing trial in a State High court in
Ilorin, Kwara State.
3. For avoidance of doubt, and to correct the insinuations and
wrong impressions created by the statement from Mr. Yusuf
Olaniyonu, Special Adviser (Media and Publicity) to the Senate
President, Senator Bukola Saraki in the minds of members of the
public over the indictment and involvement of the Senate President,
Senator Bukola Saraki in the case of the Offa Bank Robbery of 5th
April, 2018, from the confessions of the Five (5) gang leaders
namely; Ayoade Akinnibosun, Ibukunle Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham,
Salawudeen Azeez, Niyi Ogundiran arrested for direct involvement
and active participation in the Offa Bank Robbery and the gruesome
killing of THIRTY THREE (33) innocent persons, the Senate
President, Senator Bukola Saraki was indicted by the Five (5)
suspects who admitted in their confessional statements to the
Police investigators that they were political thugs of the Senate
President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sen. Bukola Saraki and the
Executive Governor of Kwara State, Alh. Abdulfatah Ahmed. 4. The
Five (5) gang leaders further confessed during investigation that
they are political thugs under the name Youth Liberation Movement
a.k.a “Good Boys” they also admitted and confessed to have been
sponsored with firearms, money and operational vehicles.
i. Lexus RX 300 Jeep with Reg. KWARA, KWA 143 RM with
inscription SARAKI on a sticker attached to the vehicle
ii. Mercedes Benz Compressor Reg. LAGOS, LT 496 KJA, these two
(2) Vehicles were used for the Offa Bank Robbery by the Five (5)
gang Leaders. The first vehicle was later registered after the Offa
Bank Robbery to divert attention while the suspects were in
detention. These confessions were made before the media and the
public on the 3rd of June, 2018. It is therefore, evidently clear
that the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki has case to answer in
the whole matter.
7. It was also discovered during investigations that three (3)
gang leaders who participated actively in the Offa Bank Robbery (i)
Ayoade Akinnibosun aka AY (ii) Ibukunle Ogunleye aka Arrow and
(iii) Adeola Abraham followed the Senate President, Sen. Bukola
Saraki to Oloffa’s Palace when the Senate President paid a
condolence visit to Offa after the Bank Robbery.
8. Further investigation into the matter revealed that all the
Five (5) gang leaders namely; Ayoade Akinnibosun, Ibukunle
Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham, Salawudeen Azeez, Niyi Ogundiran have
direct connection to the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki as a
picture of one of the five (5) gang leaders when paraded by the
Police was in ‘Aso Ebi’ (trouser) used during the Senate President
daughter’s wedding. The Five (5) gang leaders further admitted that
they attended the Senate President daughter’s wedding held in
Abuja.
9. Consequent on all the above, a thorough and discreet
investigation was concluded by the Police into the matter and all
the Five (5) gang leaders namely; Ayoade Akinnibosun, Ibukunle
Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham, Salawudeen Azeez, Niyi Ogundiran arrested
for direct involvement and active participation in the Offa Bank
Robbery that indicted and implicated Senator Bukola Saraki, Senate
President Federal Republic of Nigeria in the Offa Bank Robbery are
alive and now in Court.
10. Michael Adikwu ‘M’ 30Yrs (A Dismissed Police Man and an Ex-
Convict) who confessed to have killed Twenty Two (22) persons
including pregnant women and Nine (9) Police personnel and carted
away of Twenty Two (22) AK 47 Rifles at the Offa Police Divisional
Headquarters during Offa Bank Robbery on the 5th April, 2018 was
among the Three (3) gang leaders captured on CCTV footage and later
arrested. Michael Adikwu ‘M’ 30Yrs was not paraded along with the
Five (5) gang leaders now standing trial because he was taken out
to arrest other members of the gang and recover the Twenty Two (22)
AK 47 Rifles carted away during the Offa Bank Robbery.
11. Michael Adikwu ‘M’ 30Yrs was not murdered but slummed and
died in detention while investigation into the Offa Bank Robbery
was ongoing. It is also important for the public to know that the
deceased Michael Adikwu ‘M’ 30Yrs was not among the Five (5) gang
leaders that indicted and implicated the senate President, Senator
Bukola Saraki, therefore, his death cannot in anyway vindicate
Senator Bukola Saraki. There is a post-mortem examination result in
respect of the death of Michael Adikwu ‘M’ 30Yrs.
12. The indictment of the Senate President, Senator Bukola
Saraki from the confessions of the Five (5) gang leaders namely;
Ayoade Akinnibosun, Ibukunle Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham, Salawudeen
Azeez, Niyi Ogundiran arrested for direct involvement and active
participation in the Offa Bank Robbery was not politically
motivated as alleged by Mr. Yusuf Olaniyonu, Special Adviser (Media
and Publicity) to the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki to
the media, but purely criminal case.
13. It should be of serious concern to all, that human life is
sacrosanct and where investigation has been concluded and suspects
arraigned in Court, judicial process must be exhausted and not
hindered for the law to take its course in ensuring justice for the
families of more than Thirty Three (33) innocent persons including
pregnant women that were gruesomely murdered in cold blood by
Michael Adikwu and the Five (5) gang leaders Ayoade Akinnibosun,
Ibukunle Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham, Salawudeen Azeez, Niyi Ogundiran
arrested, investigated and currently standing trial for direct
involvement and active participation in the Offa Bank Robbery, than
for any individual(s) or any group to attempt futile efforts and
desperate distractions to pervert the end of justice is most unfair
to the families of the deceased, the State and the society at
large.
