May 5, 2019 EFCC, News Alert, Saraki
A Freshly gathered report states that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched a new probe against Senate President Bukola Saraki over allegations of money laundering.
According to THISDAY, the anti-graft agency is investigating Saraki’s earnings during his time as governor of Kwara state.
Saraki governed the state between 2003 and 2011 before proceeding to the senate.
In a letter quoted by THISDAY, the EFCC said it is investigating Saraki over “an alleged case of conspiracy, abuse of office, misappropriation of public funds, theft, and money laundering” involving him.
The letter said to have been addressed to the permanent secretary, Kwara government house and dated April 26, directed the state government to release details of all of Saraki’ salaries, allowances, estacode and payments received as governor.
The letter signed by Isyaku Sharu, EFCC zonal head, reads:
“In view of the above, you are kindly requested to furnish us with the full details of all his entitlements to include but not limited to emoluments, allowances, estacodes, other fringe benefits and severance package while he held sway as the Executive Governor of Kwara State between 2003 and 2011.
“This request is made pursuant to Section 38 (1) & (2) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (Establishment) Act, 2004 and Section 21 of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act.”
The probe comes less than a year after the supreme court cleared Saraki of allegations of false assets declaration instituted against him by the federal government.
The EFCC had testified against Saraki during the trial.
