Bukola Saraki, a former president of the senate, has commended the supreme court for overturning a federal court judgement that said Melrose General Services should forfeit N1,222,384,857.84 to the federal government.

Dissatisfied with the verdict, Melrose General Services Limited, the appellant, challenged the judgment of the court of appeal ordering the forfeiture of the money to Nigeria’s government.a “proxy war” that used Melrose “as a mere pawn” to “victimise and persecute” him. “The allegations of “Paris Club Fraud” were nothing more than a smokescreen designed to weaken the institution of my office, undermine my political career, and tarnish my reputation through spurious accusations similar to the Code of Conduct Tribunal, which also acquitted me of all charges.“I am profoundly grateful to the Almighty Allah, the ultimate arbiter of justice, for guiding the Supreme Court to this righteous verdict.
