The police have said the death of a supposed principal leader of the Offa bank robbery gang, Michael Adikwu, who died in police custody, will not affect the outcome of the case.
The force stated that the evidence of the other gang leaders was enough to prosecute President of the Senate Bukola Saraki.
Speaking at the Federal Capital, the police spokesman, Moshood Jimoh said that the deceased suspect slumped and died while in detention and was not murdered.
The police had arraigned the gang leaders – Ayoade Akinnibosun, Ibukunle Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham, Salawudeen Azeez and Niyi Ogundiran – at a Kwara State High Court for involvement in the April, 2018 bank robberies during which over 31 persons, including nine policemen, were killed.
