Reports show that the Police had blocked the Senate President, Bukola Saraki’s convoy at Lake Chad junction in Abuja.
He was reportedly on his way to report to the police headquarters after he was invited for questioning by the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris over Offa bank robbery.
Also the Department of State Security Service DSS and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC laid siege at the residence of the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu in Abuja.
However, reacting to the development, Atiku while condemning the siege urged President Buhari to take charge and call the security operatives to order. His reaction was contained in a press statement by the Spokesman to the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, Segun Showunmi.
The Statement states that they are outraged at the information reaching them which suggests that the democracy they practice is under unprecedented attack. Separation of powers and an independent legislator is the hallmark of a stable democracy.
