– Saraki’s lawyer said he was very rich before he became governor

Michael Wetkas, the principal witness and detective of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday, May 10, revealed that Bukola Saraki, the Senate president was worth four billion naira before his emergence as the governor of Kwara state.

He said this during his cross examination at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
He also disclosed the worth of the 16 vehicles that were declared which was over N200 million.

They include a Mercedes valued at N16 million, Mercedes S, 500 valued at N20 million, Mercedes, 500 at six million, Mercedes b 220, valued at N2 million and a Ferari 456, GT, valued at 25 million,
Others include Peugeot 406 valued at 2.9 billion another mercedes at N9 million, Mercedez e320 valued at N11 million, Mercedez 2 500 valued at N45 million, Mercedez s: 500 valued at N30 million, Lexus Jeep bullet proof, valued at N30 million, Lincoln Navigator bullet proof valued at N25 million.

The witness also said Saraki has some shares with the African Petroleum worth N3.6 million.

Paul Erokoro, one of the counsel to Saraki said:“You realised that the defendant was required to declare his assets, those of wife and children below age of 18? What do you see in the (asset declaration form) form?”

Wetkas answered that the cash amount of N1.1 million is in the name of his sons, Tosin Saraki and Seni Saraki

“Yes. I can see N1.5bn in the defendant’s account. And in the defendant’s wife account, N1.5m in Ecobank,”he said.

However Erokoro said that the court is trying to bring down the defendant meanwhile he has more money than the government.

“You are trying to say he took money from government meanwhile, the defendant has more money than the government.”

On hearing this, Rotimi Jacobs, the lead counsel to the federal government said Erokoro’s comment was irrelevant to the court.

Erokoro replied that Jacobs was acting out for the press.

“Some of the things you were mentioning has nothing to do with the case. You are trying to scandalise the defendant. You are only doing this for the press,”said Erokoro.

This statement made the audience applaud Erokoro.

At the time of filing this report, the witness is still being cross examined.
Saraki has been charged to court since September 22, 2015 over 16 counts of corruption bordered on corruption.

Saraki sef

Yes, let us all assume that your foolish self is right. So, if Sarathief was worth 4 billion naira before he became the governor, does that now make him a Trillionaire after he became governor? Does being a governor converts 4 billion to trillions of naira scattered all over the world?

Let the drama continue

Who the N4Billion help?
