Jonathan’s ex-aide, Omokri reacts to Police invading Saraki’s residence, blocking his convoy
Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to the report of police invading on the Senate President, Bukola Saraki’s residence.

Omokri said what was happening to Saraki was an act of tyranny.

Men of the Nigeria Police Force had in the early hours of Tuesday blocked the residence of the Senate President.

This follows a summon on Saraki by the Inspector General of Police, IGP, over his alleged link to the Offa bank robbery.

Reacting, Saraki had stated that the invitation to him by the Police to report to a station in Guzape over the Offa robbery investigation was a mere afterthought which is designed to achieve political purpose.
However, Omokri, in a tweet wrote: “What is happening to @bukolasaraki is an act of tyranny by a leadership afraid of its own shadows.

“You can’t lay siege on the nation’s number 3 citizen as if he is a common criminal just to frustrate the suspected defection of people whose defection from PDP you celebrated!”
