THEWILL is reporting this morning that Senator Bukola Saraki lied when he issued a press statement on Tuesday through his media aide claiming that Justice Gladys Olotu had approved an order restraining the police from questioning him concerning his alleged role in the theft of NGN 21 billion belonging to Joy Petroleum Limited, a company believed to be controlled by the serving senator through a front, an aide who died some months ago.
Checks at the court revealed that Saraki, through his legal counsel, Lawal Rabana, SAN had sought an order in chamber from a Federal High Court in Abuja to restrain the police from interrogating him concerning the alleged fraud, forgery and theft, but Justice Olotu declined the ex-parte application and instead ordered that the police be served with the motion on notice for the application to be heard on Thursday.
The senator curiously issued a widely circulated release through his aide, Akintoba Fatigun claiming that the court had restrained the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar and the police force from interrogating him.
The Police Force has hired Mr. Femi Falana to represent it in court
