The Kaduna State Police Command has written the Senator representing Kaduna Central , Shehu Sani , to appear at the command headquarters after identifying him as a person of interest in a murder case .
The state Commissioner of Police , Mr Austin Iwar, who wrote the letter, asked Sani to appear before the police on April 30.
The letter , with reference number , CR : 2000/KDS /VOL 5 H /72, was said to have been routed through the Clerk of the National Assembly, while the Senate President was also copied .
“ 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 the letter .
A murder suspect , Isa Garba, who was arrested by the military , was alleged to have implicated the federal lawmaker after he was transferred to the police.
It was gathered that Sani ’s name was mentioned when the suspect , who allegedly participated in the killing of one Lawal Madugu , implicated another person identified as Bashir Hamdada .
Iwar, while responding to a query on the letter, said the case was not politically-motivated.
“ A case was 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 ,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Senator has alleged that the Kaduna State Government had concluded plans to frame him .
Sani , who spoke to The Cable , said he had yet to see the letter from the police commissioner .
“ They want to frame me the same way they framed Senator Dino Melaye in Kogi on allegations of arming thugs , ” he said.
