Policemen at the office of the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) on Miliverton Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, yesterday shielded former Kwara State governor, Senator Bukola Saraki, from journalists.
Saraki, who is being investigated over a N9.7billion loan, which he reportedly obtained from the defunct Intercontinental Bank, was quizzed for over two hours.
When the detectives were through with him, the Personal Assistant (PA) to the Commissioner of Police in charge of the unit locked the door of the Police Public Relations Officer (PPPRO) where reporters were waiting.
A reporter was said to have been injured during the scramble to prevent the PA from locking the office. Saraki left when the reporters were still struggling to leave the police chief’s office to catch up with the senator.
Saraki arrived at the SFU office at 11am and left at 1.20pm. He was in a convoy of three black vehicles.
The senator rode in a black Mercedes Benz Jeep, GL 450 4matic, with registration number (Abuja) CH165RBC.
Saraki, who represents Kwara Central, is having a running battle with the police over their insistence that he should appear before them over his alleged involvement in the loan.
The former governor was to appear before the SFU after the arrest of the former managing director of Intercontinental Bank, Mr Lai Alabi, by officials of the unit.

So, Erastus Akingbola and the Renaisance's group claim that Mr. Lai Alabi was appointed by CBN Cov. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi to do the Saraki's bidding now seems true.
