BAD For Senate Saraki... After Loosing Senate seat... Presidency order EFCC to Seizes Senate President Saraki’s Houses In Lagos

Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Saturday, seized some houses belonging to Senate President Bukola Saraki.

Chat212 FM News understands that the houses are located at 15a, 15b and 17 MacDonald Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.

However, the EFCC was said to be unsure of which of the properties that actually belong to Saraki and decided to place inscriptions and stickers on all of them.

While 15a and 15b were declared by Saraki in his asset declaration form, it is believed that some other houses on the street were bought by the Senate President from the Presidential Implementation Committee for the Sales of Government Property through shell companies.

His relative, who did not want to be named, told the Punch that the houses were seized on Friday.

He said, “The EFCC had been making inquiries into the finances and assets of Saraki for quite some time. They came to inscribe ‘EFCC, Under Investigation’ in red on the walls and the fences. The irony is that even houses that don’t belong to Saraki were marked.

“From what we were told, they are keeping him under strict surveillance ahead of May 29, 2019 when they may invite him.”

The EFCC had, while presenting evidence against Saraki before the Code of Conduct Tribunal in 2016, alleged that he owned houses on MacDonald Road but there were discrepancies in the addresses.

The EFCC witness, Michael Wetkas, had said an investigation revealed that House No. 15 MacDonald Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, and Block 15 Flat 1 to 4 on the same street belonged to Saraki.
