The trial of the Offa bank robbery case 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 said that 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
