The Nigeria Police Force in Abuja on Wednesday said it would release report on alleged forgery of Senate Rules by some principal officers of the Senate as soon as investigation was concluded.

The police had promised to release the report of their investigation into the forgery allegation this week. The Force Public Relations Officer, CP Emmanuel Ojukwu, made the disclosure in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday.

It would be recalled that Ojukwu said that the police had talked to all the people involved in the case and would make the findings public.

The Senate Unity Forum, which petitioned the police on the forgery, had expressed concern over the slow pace of investigation into the forgery allegations.

The forum alleged that the Senate Rules Book was amended without the input of senators to favour the emergence of Sen. Ike Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President.
