Fresh documents discovered by Sahara Reporters have revealed that the Senate president, Bukola Saraki, once played a role in the bankruptcy that rocked Societe Generale Bank of Nigeria (SGBN).
The ex-governor of Kwara state who has been in the news in recent weeks for boycotting the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to collude with some of his
loyalists and some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to emerge as the Senate president unopposed.
Documents Reveal Saraki's Dirty Past
The documents made public by Sahara Reporters have now revealed that Saraki alongside his late father, Olusola Saraki, and his sister, Gbemi Saraki, went on a stealing spree that led to the collapse of SGBN, a Nigerian affiliate of the multinational bank.
The office of the Inspector General of police, through the documents, detailed a scheme by the siblings Bukola and Gbemi Saraki, along with Tokunbo Salami, Jude Iluyomade, and Mohammed Bashir to run down the bank at the time.

The APC has vowed to deal with the Senate president and Yakubu Dogara, Speaker of the House of Representatives, for their disobedience to the party’s wishes and principles.
This revelation is likely to down the image of the Senate president, whose British passport was also made public by Sahara Reporters in a bid to discredit his post. But the online medium has since been under fire over the post, especially from social media guru, Facebook.
