The Nigeria Police has asked
Senators Dino Melaye and Ben Murray-Bruce to report to the commissioner of
police, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, Garki on Monday, Oct. 8.
The invitation superseded an
earlier one sent to them over their conduct in connection with a protest
Organised on Friday in Abuja over Osun State election results.
Force PPRO, Jimoh Moshood in a
statement made available on Sunday said the Senators should no longer report at
the office of the IGP Monitoring Unit as earlier stated in a Press Release
issued by the Police Headquarters on 5th October.
The Police spokesman Jimoh
Moshood said that the two senators have a case to answer following preliminary
investigation carried out so far by the police into the incident.
According to him, the Senators
have to explain the violent attack on Policemen posted to ensure security of
the Force Headquarters, “the pushing and hitting of the Policemen to forcefully
enter the Force Headquarters to cause damage to Police equipment and Government
properties”.
“Consequently, Senator Dino
Melaye and Senator Ben Murray-Bruce are to report to the commissioner of
police, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) command, Garki, Abuja by 1000hrs on
Monday, October 8, 2018 for investigation and not the IGP Monitoring Unit as
earlier stated in the Press Release from the Force Headquarters on 5th October,
2018.
“Further investigation is ongoing
to determine the level of involvement and culpability of other individuals and
personalities who were seen at the scene of the crime on the date of the
incident.
”The Federal Capital Territory
(FCT) police command has the statutory jurisdiction to investigate the matter,”
Moshood said.
