Shortly after the homes of President of the senate, Bukola Saraki and Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu was stormed by security operatives, the Nigeria Police Force has denied knowledge of the siege.



NPF spokesman, DCP Jimoh Moshood who spoke to a Daily Trust correspondent, said he was not aware of the development.

“I am not aware. You are just informing me,” he said.
