The Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Saturday 31st July 2021 in Abuja confirmed the arrest
and detention of the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The spokesperson of the commission, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, told the News Agency of Nigeria that
Saraki was invited for questioning over allegations of corruption and money
laundering.
He said that the former Senate president was currently in the custody of
the commission for continuation of interrogation.
The invitation
and detention of Saraki for interrogation was happening days after a former
Nasarawa State governor, Tanko al-Makura; and his wife, Mairo, were invited and
interrogated.
The commission had invited al-Makura and the wife over alleged breach of
public trust and misappropriation of billions of naira by his administration.
