Toyin, the wife of Senate President Bukola Saraki, has condemned the police over the siege on their Abuja residence over her husband’s alleged involvement in the Offa bank robbery.
The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Jimoh Moshood, had claimed that the vehicles that blocked the Senate President’s convoy belong to her.
Reacting in a post on Twitter on Wednesday, Toyin Saraki wrote: “Dear @channelstv @sunrisedailynow I am absolutely flabbergasted by @PoliceNG Jimoh Moshood on TV attempting to claim that these white vehicles that blockaded the road outside our Abuja residence could possibly be “protection provided to the Wife of the Senate President”!
“Firstly I have never received any vehicle from @PoliceNG
“Secondly, I believe these vehicles bear a striking resemblance to cars donated by my dear brother @AlikoDangote. I hope DSP Jimoh Moshood can leave me out of this unseemly contretemps. Thank you!
“It was bad enough that I was forced to endure a mass invasion of my privacy, with the mis-identification of a guest at a private family occasion, falsely, as one of the @PoliceNG Offa Bank Robbery suspects. The Police did nothing to correct this widely circulated falsehood.”
