It told the Federal High Court in Lagos that Saraki diverted the sum in monthly tranches of N100million between 2003 and 2011, while he was Kwara State governor.
But the ex-governor denied the allegations through his lawyer, Mr Kehinde Ogunwunmiju and opposed the prayer for forfeiture.The EFCC had on December 2, 2019 obtained an order temporarily forfeiting the houses – Plots No. 10 and No. 11 Abdulkadir Road, GRA, Ilorin, Kwara State – to the Federal Government.He drew the judge’s attention to an affidavit filed before the court by an EFCC officer, Bilikisu Buhari.
“After the funds were stacked in the Kwara State Government House, it was then fraudulently dissipated and taken away in cash by Messrs Abdul Adama, Ubi Ofem and Ubi Austin, acting on the instructions and direction of Dr Bukola Saraki in violent breach of public trust. Buhari said Adama, Ofem and Austin, using fictitious name, usually paid the diverted N100m into the bank accounts of contractors who built the houses.
Ogunwunmiju referenced the Governor and Deputy Governor Law 2010 of Kwara State, which stipulated that an elected two-term governor of the state was entitled to a five- and four-bedroomed duplex, respectively, at any location of their choice within Kwara State.
You better leave this man alone. Kinlo ra nigba tin gan na
This variant of evil is impossible unless allb are collaborators. Isn't this vice what John Milton called the heart of darkness ?
I am not saying he did it or not. Media prosecution is foolishness. efcc should learn how to work like FBI. FBI will confront you with proves and will prosecute you without any reason to claim persecution. I don't believe officialEFCC until proven by court. APC weapon is efcc
Good
Effort should be channel towards investigations prosecution and ultimately conviction as the case may be, than media trial.
He will soon join Olisa Metuh,Omo Ole.
Saraki is Baba NLA ole....
Criminal of the highest order! He gave part of this money to dangote company to package semolina as a tool to be used to buy Kwara State back! May God punish all the looters in Nigeria 1⃣ by 1⃣ I am moving a motion for DEATH sentence to all the LOOTERS!
Esusu! Asan lori asan.
Our politicians are heartless. I have no sympathy any of them. If he found guilty, he should face the law. They will eventually pay for their crime of looting Nigeria.
Even when he was the Senate President, he has on several occasions shut down the Senate in celebration of his criminal suit and appearance at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). His fingerprints are in all the corruption schemes all over the place. KwaraLootedFunds
Bukola Saraki has rewritten the history of corruption in our political enterprise. Charles de Gaulle once said, “history does not teach fatalism…People get the history they deserve.” And Mr. Saraki will get the history he deserves. KwaraLootedFunds

This is the same story that we have been reading for donkey years ... This is the rice ad beans that was concocted with no evidence for over a decade without. I was forced to read that news because I felt that EFCC now have evidence to show as prove but nothing at the end
Better you people stop all these nonsense. With all I read from the EFCC , there was no evidence to prove that truly Saraki collected money from the state purse but because EFCC want to show us that they are working , they have decided to come up with story that touch .
Bukola Saraki is a fraudster, a hardened criminal who should be in jail right now. officialEFCC
The same EFCC included this particular case into the 18 count charges against Dr. Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal and the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki was discharged and acquitted by CCT, Appeal and the Supreme Courts .
Some people will not make heaven.
Metuh help ask them to preserve a place for him abeg oo.
EFCC wants to rewrite the law against the Governor&DGov (Payment of Pension) Law2010 of Kwara State, which stipulated that an elected two-term governor of the state was entitled to a five-and four-bedroomed duplex, respectively, at any location of their choice within Kwara State.
Bukola Saraki and Corruption are conjoined twins.

Okay o
If he is found guilty let him be prosecuted in line with the position of the law. All these men are so corrupt. Thieves.
They’ve taken him down, now want to bury him.
