Police authorities have withdrawn the invitation to Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, in connection with the Offa bank robberies.

This was revealed by Saraki in a tweet today.

Instead, the police asked the senate president to respond to the allegations leveled against him in writing.

Saraki had tweeted: “Following my earlier tweet, I have received the letter from @PoliceNG. They are no longer asking me to appear at any station, but to respond in writing to the allegations within 48 hours — which I plan to do.”
