A
Police source said that bank statements retrieved from the suspects
indicated that they received money on a monthly basis from Mr. Saraki
and the Kwara State government. This, added the source, has ensured that
most of them have healthy bank balances running into millions of naira.
Following their confession, the Senate President and Mr. Ahmed
attempted to pressure the Kwara State Police Commissioner, Mr. Aminu Pai
Saleh, using Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Mr. Jimoh Mumini,
who is said to be very corrupt.
Mr. Pai Saleh was said to have
been offered money, which he rejected. Mr. Mumini has been critical of
the transfer of the suspects to Abuja, saying that the state government
has successfully prosecuted cultists and killers at the State High Court
under the penal code.
The Senate President and Mr. Ahmed may
soon be invited by the Police. Both men have accused the
Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Lawal Idris, of planning to frame them
for murder.
