The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited the immediate past president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, over allegations of theft and money laundering.
The incident reportedly occurred, yesterday afternoon in Abuja, shortly after Saraki attended the wedding ceremony of daughter of one of his loyalists and Third Republic Kwara State governor, Senator Shaba Lafiagi.
Anti-graft investigators had obtained a list of the proxy companies involved and analysed a pattern of suspicious transactions between them and Saraki, Justice Taiwo, who was the presiding judge, ruled on an ex parte application filed along with the substantive suits and ordered the anti-corruption agency and other five respondents to the suits to stay action on the probe pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed by the applicant.
But when the mater came up on Wednesday July 14, 2021, the anti-graft agency told the court that the action of the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, had been hindering the agency from probing him.
