Immediate past Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Friday described the Asset forfeiture suit filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as a case already decided by the Supreme Court.

“It should be noted specifically that Count 7 of the decided case which went up to Supreme Court states as follows: ‘That you, Dr. Olubukola Abubakar Saraki….

“We will like, for emphasis, to state that the fictitious claims by EFCC of a certain amount being taken from government coffers and deposited by aides have no basis, is totally untrue and a fabricated lie. “Saraki’s lawyers also disagreed with the position of the anti-graft agency that mere suspicion that government money was used in funding the construction of the house in question would be enough to justify the application for forfeiture of the property and that the burden of proof is on the defendant to prove the source of the money for the construction of the property.

“The personal fund came from earnings from companies in which Dr. Saraki has statutorily declared that he has substantial and controlling interests. Also, the financial contribution Dr. Saraki made to the construction of the house in question was made in installments over several years after he left office as Governor.
