See revelation: SARAKI IS A THIEFFFF! Michael Wetkas, a detective with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Tuesday narrated how Senate President Bukola Saraki allegedly used fictitious names to launder billions of naira. Testifying against the senate president at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), the EFCC detective also claimed that Saraki’s personal account at GTB had an inflow of about N4bn between 2005 and 2013. “When the defendant was governor of Kwara state between 2003 and 2011. The commission received several petitions from various groups. One of the petitioners was Kwara Freedom Network. They brought several petitions all bordering on abuse of office by the defendant, misappropriation of public fund and money laundering. “Sometime in 2014 the then executive chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde received intelligence reports of suspicious transactions involving the defendant. He set up a team of investigators. Our task was to investigate the intelligence reports. “The investigation report was reviewed by my team. In the course of our investigation we discovered that there were several companies which were linked to the defendant. Some of them include Carlisle Properties Investment Ltd, Skyview Properties Ltd, LimKvars Ltd, and TIly-lie Ltd. Some of the companies maintain accounts at Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), Zenith Bank, Access Bank, and other banks. “From the investigation it was discovered that the defendant maintained three accounts at GTB. The first account is a naira currency account, the second is a US dollar account and the third is a pound sterling account. “The naira account was analysed, and it was discovered that between 2005 and 2013, the account had an in-flow of about N4bn. The major source of in-flow into the accounts was loans taken from GTB within the period. The loans were about N2.5bn, and the other source of in-flows into the account was massive lodgments by individuals. Other in flows into the account were from the companies. “It was discovered that money was used for purchase of property. The dollar account was also analysed. The major source of in-flow into the dollar account was Tily-lie Properties Ltd, which was about $2m. Other source was from bureau de change companies. And the rest was cash lodgments by individuals. The cash in the dollar account between 2009 and 2013 was $6m. We discovered that up to $3.4m was wired to American Express Services Europe Limited, which was used to fund the defendant’s American Express Service New York card account number 374588216836009. “The defendant wired over 1.5m pound sterling to Fortis Bank for the purchase of a property in the UK. “After that, because of the suspicious in-flows into the account, the bank (GTB) officials were invited. The reason for the invitation of the officials was that some of the individuals who were making the cash lodgment into the account were bank officials. One Oluwa Tujimu reported to the commission. From our of interactions with him we discovered that some of the lodgments were made through a superior at the bank, Bayo Daudu, who was the relationship manager of the account. In our interaction with Daudu, it was discovered the cash sums were handed over to him by the defendant for lodgment in the account. According to Daudu, he goes to Kwara state government house to collect the money from the defendant for lodgment into the account at the GRA Ilorin branch of GTB. “We discovered one name, Abdul Adama who made transaction 50 times into the account in a single day. The sum was broken down to N600, 000 and N900,000, and was lodged in the same day. Subsequently, after that one Ubi made a lodgment on the same day about 20 times in the same range of N600, 000 and N900, 000. We looked for Adama and invited him. He reported that the cash sums were handed over to him by the defendant and stated further that the cash sums that were lodge in by Ubi into the same account were from the defendant. “Adama and Ubi were personal assistants to the defendant while he was governor. Further investigations revealed that other individuals who made lodgments into the account were fictitious. “GTB said they had done the needful by reporting the suspicious transactions to FIU.” 9 Likes 2 Shares |

The people you can not fight and win; you now beg God to cause misunderstanding among them so that they can use that power to fight themselves.

ElCapone:If he escapes this, then he is a very lucky man, cos d people fighting him are also very rich n are more resourceful. The grievance they av against him is very genuine politically so I think they will pursue dis to d end. When they (newPDP) were leaving to join APC, they were only lookin for escape route cos it appears PDP was loosing momentum den n they didn't want to sink with her, so all they negotiated with the APC that had already shared it's position was a return ticket n d state structures cos APC didn't really have leaders in there states n dey were given which made some founding members of APC uncomfortable n left, so they got eat they wanted but after d election they were to carried away thinking it's was their person that won APC d election not knowing it was the people's desire for change, so they went ahead of themselves n challenge wat was already on ground which even delayed the President's choice of SGF n Chief of staff. So u can see that they have bitten more than they can chew, so I think the theory now is "get Saraki (d big fish) out n send a huge message to other smaller rebels so they can turn around n work with d party or they face d same thing". Although whether he survive or not the APC especially d south-west caucus already see them as PDP members n it's already reclaiming it's lost members, example is Osoba n I believe many more will b reclaimed b4 2019. 10 Likes 1 Share |

For over 6 months now, the CCT have allowed Saraki & his bunch of legal team have their time in the various court of appeal. All have come to a fruitless end, now the trial must begin. I hope if & when judgement is passed, nobody will say that Saraki's human rights have been denied, or that the presidency is not allowing him to defend himself properly. This is serious, depositing ₦4bn in one account!!!! The latest gist is on Saraki, he has stepped on the toes of many powerful people both in PDP & APC & they are ready to deal with him ruthlessly. So we should not assume that his present delimma is only from the APC party, even his late dad 'cursed' him. 3 Likes 1 Share |

These revelations are serious and this is just day one. This case plus the Panama papers, Saraki must be a miracle worker to get off. What I'm curious about now is, after the CCT trial, is EFCC going to move in? Cos we know CCT can only kick him out of office. EFCC moving in after they're done does they're fighting corruption and not just trying to get him out of office. 1 Like 1 Share |

What is happening to saraki now is not really about his emergence as senate president neither is it about genuine concern to fight corruption using him as a scape goat. Ther truth is saraki is seen as a strong contender a man to beat in 2019 hence the need to shut him down by all means. Are u not susprise that nasir el rufai offers to be a witness against saraki. He might not be jailed eventually but they must have suceeded in damaging its reputation. |

Someone should advise Saraki to cut a deal now in exchange for a soft landing. If not, he'll find himself in prison sharply - there is a new Sherriff in town o. How dare the man disgrace our newly elected President and his party by conducting a sham election for the Senate Presidency while at the same time, knowing that he had a closet full of crimes?
