“I merely left with the Police who wanted to hear my perspective on the matter. Told them my perspective and left immediately after”, Ajos said in the statement. “We are aware of several media reports suggesting that Senator Omo-Agege personally removed or encouraged anyone to remove the Mace of the Senate”, noting that this weighty allegation is not true at all…
“Following media reports on the Mace issue, the Police decided to hear from Senator Omo-Agege. He has told them his perspective to help them carry out a proper investigation. He has since left the Police. He trusts them to thoroughly investigate this very serious matter”, he said, stressing that the senator is aware of the statement issud by the Senate Spokesperson, Senator Abdullahi Sabi.
“Without any investigation, Senator Sabi willfully, deliberately and unfairly made very serious allegations against Senator Omo-Agege on the Mace incident. We are carefully studying Senator Sabi’s allegations to ascertain their full ramifications. Appropriate responses will follow, as may be necessary”, he said.
