The Senate President who earlier raised an alarm of a plot by the Police to implicate him described his invitation by the Cops as a "plot concocted to embarrass" him.

"This plot is concocted to embarrass me and, in the mind of the IGP, it is his own response after his refusal to honour the invitation by the National Assembly, headed by me, for him to come and offer explanations on the rampant killings and violence across the country.

"Like the earlier one, this frame-up will also fail as I hereby state categorically that I have no link with any band of criminals," Saraki said in a press release by his Special Adviser on Media & Publicity,Yusuph Olaniyonu, on Sunday, June 3, 2018.
