Solomon Arase, the Inspector General of Police, has summoned the Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, over his role in the alleged forgery of Senate Rules.
Ekweremadu has been invited to appear before a team of investigators at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on Monday, July 6.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, announced the development at a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday.
“The Inspector General of Police, acting on instructions has invited the Deputy Senate President with a view to arresting him over phantom charges as a build up to incarcerate him, create a vacuum in the Senate and pave way for the imposition of APC preferred senator to take over his position.
“We are aware that some APC senators opposed to the emerge of Senators Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu as Senate President and Deputy Senate President respectively met last week and concocted a petition accusing the Deputy Senate President of altering the Senate Rules on the process of election of the Presiding Officers, upon which the police via a letter dated July 1, 2015 and signed by the Deputy Inspector General in charge of criminal investigation at the Force Headquarters has invited him to appear tomorrow, Monday, July 6, 2015 where he will be detained and put under pressure.”
