The Offa bank robbery trial resumed on Wednesday at the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
During the court’s proceedings, one of the principal suspects, Ayoade Akinninbosun told the court that a former Head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) squad, Abba Kyari offered him N10 million to implicate ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki in the armed robbery case.
Akinninbosun says Kyari promised to give him a visa to any country of his choice if he took the option to implicate Saraki but he turned down the offer.
Five suspects , Ayoade Akinnibosun, Ibikunle Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham and two others were also charged to court by the police for criminal conspiracy to rob the banks, murder of nine policemen and other citizens, and illegal possession of firearms.
It will be recalled that about 10 persons were feared killed in the April 5, 2018 incident while other residents of Offa sustained serious injuries.
