Armed robbers had attacked five
commercial banks in the community, killing at least 33 persons, including nine
police officers.
The police later arrested some
suspects. Jimoh Moshood, police spokesman, paraded them in Abuja on Sunday.
Moshood said the force would
probe Saraki’s connection with the suspects.
In an interview with reporters,
Ayodele Akinnibosun aka AY, leader of the gang, alleged that his group had been
working for the senate president since he was governor.
Saraki governed Kwara between
2003 and 2011.
Below is the interview with Akinnibosun:
Journalists: Can we meet you?
AY: My name is Ayodele Akinnibosun aka AY. I am the chairman of
Liberation Youths movement Kwara South. I work for Senate president and
Governor Ahmed as political mobilising youth and we have been working for long
time since he was Governor of Kwara.
Journalists: Be specific. What exactly do you do for Saraki, what
type of works?
AY: We mobilise and do political arrangement for him in Kwara
south.
Journalists: Describe the work u do, what the police PRO said has
to do with Robbery and that is weighty, you are talking politics and that is
light. What do you do for Senate’s President?
AY: Where we can’t win, we make arrangement there, we scatter
elections if we don’t win.
Journalists: What is the connection between the robbery and the
senate president?
AY: The connection is that for example, this car was given to me by
His Excellency through the Chief of Staff of Kwara state as a gift from leader.
Journalists: Who is His Excellency?
AY: Governor AbdulFatai Ahmed
Journalists: Please what has Offa robbery got to do with your
story? Did you participate in Offa robbery?
AY: Yes, I participated in the Offa robbery. I used this Lexus car
given to me for the operations in Offa
robbery.
Journalists: What was the plan? They gave you a car for political
mobilisation or thuggery issue but you moved it into robbery. We want to know
the link. You are telling us a different thing. Did the Senate president or
governor send you to be killing or stealing from Kwara people? Simple and
straightforward, that’s what we want to know.
AY: The senate president and governor of Kwara state, we have been
their political thugs, that’s what encouraged us to the robbery.
Journalists: So this robbery, how did you get your weapons?
AY: It was through this… ehehn…. one retired police officer,
Michael… he was the one that comes with ammunition.
Journalists: Please, is the governor or Saraki aware of the
robbery? Did they send you for the operation?
AY: No! They did not send us for the robbery but because we are
their political thugs, that’s what led us to the robbery.
Journalists: You have access to governor and senate president.
There’s nothing you need that they won’t give you. Why did you have to engage
in robbery with all these opportunities?
AY: It is devil that pushed us.
Journalists: Please, is the governor or Saraki aware of the
robbery? Did they send you for the operation?
AY: No! They did not send us for the robbery but because we are
their political thugs, that’s what led us to the robbery.
