A former President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, on Monday, maintained his position that the application to the Federal High Court, Lagos, for interim forfeiture order on his Ilorin home by the Econom

ic and Financial Crimes Commission, was an abuse of the court process and a violation of a subsisting order of the Federal High Court, Abuja.Saraki made the declaration in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, and made available to our correspondent in Abuja.

“The fact is that the Ilorin property was built partly by the Kwara State Government pursuant to the Third Schedule of the Governor and Deputy Governor Law 2010 while Saraki personally funded the remaining cost of the building. “Where cash was involved, this was mainly in 2012 and 2013, more than a year after he had left office as Governor.

“We are also surprised that the EFCC could not even hide its penchant for abusing the nation’s judicial institution as it engaged in forum shopping when it filed a suit in Lagos on a property situate in Ilorin.

The Tiger you rode in 2015, is hungry! Guess what is for supper?

It's a good lesson to everyone in power today. Saraki ensured APC come to power and demonized Jonathan. Today those he fought for have overpowered him and are persecuting him too. He should expect more from his friends turned foes.

Court ruled on the matter. What is he saying?

God knows best

You self be thief. In sane climes you will be sending a message through your state appointed lawyer from your prison cell.

It's only in Africa that someone accused of stealing will be wearing Agbada.... Shameless people thief bukolasaraki

Obviously witch hunt officialEFCC but it’s understandable when there is double standard because the government of the day appointed and assigned you to your duty

It's well with Nigeria
