The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released the
ex-governor of Kwara State, Dr Bukola Saraki,from its detention
following an alleged ill-health. He is due to return there in the first
week of September.
Saraki, who honoured EFCC’s invitation on Monday, was interrogated by
the anti-graft operatives over his alleged involvement in fraud-related
matters during his eight-year tenure and when he was the executive
director of the defunct Societe Generale Bank Nigeria Limited (SGBN).
We were able to gather from a family member of the ex-governor that
he was released on health grounds and was asked to report by first week
of September.
Meanwhile, the EFCC’s spokesman, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, has denied an
online report published by Sahara
Reporters that the operatives were
interrogating the Kwara senator over an alleged N100 million he was
collecting monthly as pension from the Kwara State government.
He described the report as baseless, saying he was not aware of anything like that concerning the ex- governor.
Uwujare said the anti-graft operatives would make its findings public
either in court or at the appropriate place when necessary.
