Cheif Supretendent of Police and  assistant spokesperson, Ayobami Shogunle stated this while speaking with Channels Television on Sunday.

He noted that a Senator wrote a petition to the IGP that the rules of the house was changed so as to pave the way for the election of Ekweremdu and based on the petition, he said the IGP directed the DIG Force CID to investigate the matter.

Shogunle disclosed that after the preliminary investigations the Force CID wrote to the Clerk of the National Assembly to arrange the time and place for police investigators to meet with some Senators for interrogations and up till the time of filing this report 9:50 pm, the Clerk has not responded to demands of the police.

Also the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it has nothing to do with the reported police’s invitation of Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, over which the PDP has released an outlandish statement containing all sorts of imaginary claims.

In its own statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party claimed it neither wrote a petition to the police nor is it aware that any petition was written against the Deputy Senate President.

The PDP had accused the APC and Presidency of plans to arrest the PDPsenator haven emerged deputy senate president under the nose of the ruling APC.
