One of the principal suspects in the resumed trial of the Offa bank robbery case, Ayoade Akinnibosun, on Wednesday told a Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin how the former Commander, Inspector General Response Team squad, ACP Abba Kyari, tortured and promised to give him N10 million and other things to implicate former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, in the armed robbery case.
Besides, he said that Kyari promised to give him a visa to any country of his choice if he supported the move to implicate Saraki, but said that he turned down the offers.
During the incident, about 11 persons were feared killed while other residents sustained serious injuries. According to him, “He said I should admit and say Saraki was the one who asked us to go and rob. I told him I won’t do that. That I would rather die for what I didn’t do than lie against an innocent man.
