The senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has
disclosed that he was invited by the police in Kaduna earlier
Monday morning.
He said he honoured the invite, wrote a statement, and was later
allowed to go, based on self recognition.
The senator disclosed this on his verified Twitter handle, where
he wrote:
“The Police invited me to appear today by 10:45am. I honored the
invitation to the Police Headquarters in Kaduna by 10:45am, with
clear conscience.I wrote my statements. I was granted ‘self bail’.
I have left.”
Earlier in the month, the Kaduna State Police Command had
written the senator, asking him to appear at the command
headquarters after identifying him as a person of interest in a
murder case.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Austin Iwar, who wrote the
letter, asked Sani to appear before the Police on April 30.
The letter, with reference number, CR: 2000/KDS/VOL 5H/72, was
said to have been routed through the Clerk of the National
Assembly, while the Senate President was also copied.
“This is in connection with a case of criminal conspiracy and
culpable homicide transferred to this office by 1 Division,
Nigerian Army, Kaduna, alongside with exhibit audio CD, in which
your name was mentioned by the principal suspect,” Iwar said in the
letter .
A murder suspect, Isa Garba, who was arrested by the military,
was alleged to have implicated the federal lawmaker after he was
transferred to the police.
It was gathered that Sani’s name was mentioned when the suspect,
who allegedly participated in the killing of one Lawal Madugu,
implicated another person identified as Bashir Hamdada.
Iwar, while responding to a query on the letter, said the case
was not politically-motivated.
Sani, in his tweet, intimated that he had honored the invite.
