Former media aide of former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has said claims that the Senate president Bukola Saraki has links to the deadly Offa bank robbers is subject to scrutiny. According to the author, why will the senate president “Who can rob the treasury prefer to rob a bank? ”
Reno made a series of claims via his Twitter handle on Sunday as soon the news of Saraki’s alleged involvement in Offa robbery hit the internet.
He wrote;
The police statement alleges that the suspects confessed that @BukolaSaraki and Governor Ahmed sponsored the firearms, cars and money used to facilitate #OffaBankRobbery. But why will politicians who can rob the treasury prefer to rob a bank? Which is easier and more profitable?

Why waste money on Cable to watch #GameofThrones, when the game playing out in Nigeria is more dramatic than anything GoT? An ex-Governor and current Senate President being linked to armed robbery because of his opposition to a sitting President who also withdraws his security!

Mr Omokri also took a swipe at the Nigerian police, who he says couldn’t prosecute the mace theft at the National assembly but could link Saraki to robberies in Offa, Kwara state. He also noted that. the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, who on three occasions, turned down the invitation of the senate can now invite the senate president.
He wrote;
Isn’t it funny that the police who could not prosecute those who stole @NGRSenate’s mace has been able to find a link between Senate President @bukolasaraki and #OffaBankRobbery. In Kaduna, @elrufai demolishes critics houses. In Abuja, they link you to armed robbery! APC, I hail!

When @NGRSenate invited IGP Idris, he ignored the invitation and President Buhari did not sack, reprimand or arrest him. Now the shoe is on the other foot and IGP Idris has invited @bukolasaraki.We hear that the President has ordered his arrest. Why? Is Idris greater than Saraki?

According to @PremiumTimesng, the Police has got approval from Buhari to arrest @BukolaSaraki. This is the same police that could not arrest pension thief Maina, or killer herdsmen, or those who killed RCCG’s Pastor Eunice Elisha. The same police that can’t rescue #LeahSheribu

I remember when members of the nPDP called Jonathan a dictator. Today, they have a real dictator but can’t call him dictator because of fear. A man whose regime killed 347 unarmed Shiite men, women, children and infants, can deal with anybody through legal and extralegal means.

Reno Omokri added also that Bukola Saraki is reaping what he sowed for “betraying former president Jonathan”, adding also that the president Muhammadu Buhari administration lacks reasoning for thinking Saraki would stoop so low as to rob a bank.
See what he wrote
The sad fact is that if @BukolaSaraki had not betrayed Jonathan, Buhari wouldn’t have the power to victimise Saraki. No spoon is long enough to eat with satan. If you bring a leopard to kill your enemy, yes, the leopard will kill him. Then it will turn on you when it gets hungry!

Do the Buhari admin even reason? The amount of money stolen during the #OffaBankRobbery is not up to the amount of money that @BukolaSaraki gives out to the masses during Sallah. The Senate President sits atop a ₦100 billion annual budget. Why would he sponsor a bank robbery?
