Saraki/Ekweremadu: Melaye alleges plot to doctor evidence

Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Senator Dino Melaye (APC, Kogi West), Monday, raised alarm over alleged plans by some individuals to doctor the police report on the investigation of allegations of forgery levelled against the leadership of the Senate. According to Senator Melaye, the plan is to make the report indict the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu. In a statement in Abuja, Senator Melaye said those behind the plot were scheming to forge a police report, different from the one signed by AIG James Caulcrick, to prove a case of forgery against the Senate President and the Deputy President. He said it was necessary for members of the public to be aware of the ‘unlawful plan’. He said: “We have our sources and we have been reliably informed that the prosecution, having realised that there is a big hole in their case against Saraki and Ekweremadu who were not mentioned in the police report, are now trying to doctor the report and include the names of both presiding officers of the Senate. “It is because of this plan that they refused to include the police report in the process they filed in court. We have said it repeatedly that the government and the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami, has no case against our presiding officers. “The said police report is already in the public space. The media has published it verbatim. We will be watching them to see how they will smuggle Saraki and Ekweremadu’s names into it. “We call on the courts to continue to play their role as the last resort for every man who wants justice at all times and in all circumstances.”
