Alleged senate forgery: Balarabe Musa seeks probe of missing report.


Second Republic Governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to demand an explanation from the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, as to the whereabouts of the final report of the police investigation into an alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Orders . 
Inner room had exclusively reported on August 19 that there was confusion between the police and the justice ministry on the status of the report. 
While the police insisted that they had sent the report to the Ministry of Justice for possible prosecution of suspects, a ministry official said the report had not been received.
The allegedly forged 2015 edition of the Senate Standing Orders was used for the conduct of the elections of Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu, as Senate President and Deputy Senate President respectively, shortly after the proclamation of the 8th Senate on June 9, 2015.
The police had sent an initial report to the office of the Attorney General of the Federation for proper legal advice. The report confirmed that “some group of senators criminally amended the Senate Standing Orders 2011 to produce the 2015 edition.”
