EFCC misled court to seize my houses —Saraki

Ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki has responded to a court judgment ordering the forfeiture of two of his houses in Ikoyi, Lagos State.However, taking to his verified Twitter handle @bukolasaraki later on Monday, the ex-Kwara State governor noted: “My attention has been drawn to an Order granted by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos pursuant to an ex-parte application by EFCC.

“It is my belief that the Court was not informed of a pending Order of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja restraining EFCC from taking any steps regarding the seizure of the property in question pending the determination of a suit filed before that Court. “I also believe that the Court was not made aware that the property in question formed part of the judgment of the Court given on July 6, 2018 where the Supreme Court declared that the source of funds for the purchase of the property was not illicit as claimed by the prosecution.

“The Supreme Court specifically referred to No 17a McDonald Road, Ikoyi on pages 12, 13 and 26 of its judgment upholding the no-case submission made before the Code of Conduct Tribunal. “I am confident that once these facts and the declaration of the Supreme Court are brought before the Court, this Order will be vacated.DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON

Let pass vote of no confidence on the judge

Well, it is still a temporary forfeiture not permanent, so next adjournment everything can be ironed out. Court is there to do justice.

That's good news for me

The reporter is also misrepresenting the court ruling. Temporary forfeiture is different from final judgement. Reporters should learn not to cause confusion OR was he used to write so.?

And your lawyer let them?

I guess...the news can only be true of a scene where a person doesn't belong to the camp anymore, maybe.

The consequences of fighting government.
