Saraki's wife is ready to cooperate with EFCC
The wife of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Toyin, has said she will respond to an invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and assist the commission with its inquiries over corruption allegations against her.
Toyin Saraki confirmed to reporters that she had been summoned by the commission, but denied knowing the motive of the invitation.
PREMIUM TIMES had reported exclusively on Wednesday that the EFCC was moving against Mrs. Saraki, and Zainabu Yar’adua-Dakingari, the daughter of former President Umaru Yar’Adua, over alleged corruption.
Mrs. Dakingari, also the wife of a former governor of Kebbi State, is accused of N2 billion fraud perpetrated during her husband’s tenure as governor of the Northwest State.
She was initially expected to report for questioning at the EFCC headquarters Wednesday, but sent words that she was away to Saudi for Umrah (lesser hajj), and pleaded to be allowed to report on July 27, 2015.
