It is often said that “the more you look, the clearer you see.” This is why, while studying the fallout from July 31st, 2021, when the recently renewed
saga of Bukola Saraki and the EFCC was reignited in the press, it has become clearer that the initial narrative that was spun on certain news platforms about a purported arrest of the former Senate President was concocted and amplified to fuel certain agenda.
However, later that evening, videos and photos were circulated on social media of Saraki in his living room having meetings. Thereafter, his Media Office released a statement that stated that Saraki visited the EFCC Office on his own volition “to clarify any issue that the commission may want to raise with him.” Many people have asked: “Why?” Some others have also said: “Who does that?”
In what would be described as ‘legal gbas gbos’ on social media, Saraki also counter-petitioned to the Chief Judge of the FHC. Subsequently, this back and forth led to Justice Taiwo Taiwo recusing himself from the case and Justice Anwuli Chikere took over.
