The police in Kaduna State yesterday linked Senator Shehu Sani as a person of interest in a case of criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide in the state.
Following the development, Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Austin Iwar, has written to Sani, asking him to appear on April 30 at the Command Headquarters in Kaduna for questioning.
Iwar said: “This is in connection with a case of criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide transferred to this office by 1 Division, Nigerian Army, Kaduna, alongside with exhibit audio CD in which your name was mentioned by the principal suspect.
“This is to enable us fairly and timely conclude investigation into the matter.”
Although Iwar said that the case was not politically motivated, it was “a case transferred to me and I am handling the case. The matter is currently under investigation and we don’t think we have reached a stage yet where we could inform the public about it.
“This is in connection with a case of criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide transferred to this office by 1 Division, Nigerian Army, Kaduna, alongside with exhibit audio CD in which your name was mentioned by the principal suspect,” Iwar said in a letter to Sani, APC-Kaduna Central.”
