Saraki had been invited by the police to report at their station by 8am on Tuesday following his alleged involvement in the Offa robbery that led to the deaths of scores of persons.

Saraki, in a response to the invitation, said that it is a plot to stop a planned defection by some APC lawmakers during plenary on Twitter.

There are also corruption charges being leveled against Ekweremadu by the EFCC, according to The Nigerian Wailers:

Other reports say police presence in the homes of the senate leaders was a plan to get other pro-Buhari/APC lawmakers to impeach them during plenary.

However, according to Channels, Saraki finally arrived the national assembly and is currently presiding over today’s plenary.
