Police officers have blocked the entry and exit routes to the Lake Chad residence of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
Wuzup Naija gathered that this development has prevented the Senate president from attending to the invitation by the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris at 8 a.m today.

Saraki’s convoy which hit the road at around 6:58 am on Tuesday morning to honour the police invite is currently stranded as the police have refused him passage.
The police have now left the area.
The Senate president was summoned to the police in connection with a robbery in Offa, Kwara state in April, the BBC’s Mayeni Jones says.
Armed robbers blew up the entrances of five banks in an operation which left six policemen and six civilians dead.
The police had said some of the robbery suspects confessed that they were working for the Senate president, an allegation Mr Saraki denied.
The Senate president issued a statement last night saying that the police’s invitation to give evidence about the robbery was politically motivated
He said it is “to stop an alleged plan by some senators and House of Representatives members from defecting from [President Muhammadu Buhari’s] All Progressives Congress.”
