Saraki through Yusuph Olaniyonu, his Special Adviser, said he was aware of the letter written by the commission to the Kwara State Government, in which it demanded for all details of salaries, allowances, estacode or any other entitlement he enjoyed during his tenure as Governor of Kwara State between 2003 and 2011.
“At this point, we need to remind members of the public that Dr. Saraki’s tenure as Kwara State Governor has been investigated several times since his last months in Office in 2010 till date.

“Other anti-corruption bills passed by the Eighth Senate include the Whistleblowers Protection Bill, which seeks to ensure that individuals that are in danger of reprisals in relation to whistleblower activities are protected under the law; Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act which sought to among other things identify, trace, freeze, restrain, recover, forfeit and confiscate proceeds, property and other instrumentalities of crime; Witness Protection Bill, which is geared at encouraging...
