residence was also alleged by the
spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), Kola Ologbondiyan, in a
tweet on Tuesday morning, July 24
The Senate may not hold its plenary
today, Tuesday, July 24, if Ekweremadu is
detained since the deputy senate

general of police, Ibrahim Idris , to
appear at the office of intelligence
response team in Abuja over the robbery
incident which took place in Offa, Kwara
state in April.

President Bukola Saraki was on Tuesday
morning, July 24, blocked by the
operatives of the Special Anti Robbery
Squad unit of the Nigeria Police, from
