BREAKING: EFCC Invites Senate President's Wife, Toyin Saraki, Yar’Adua’s Daughter Over Corruption Allegation
SKYTREND NEWS can authoritatively confirm that some former first ladies of former State Governors have been invited for alleged corruption by the Nigeria's anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC.
The daughter of former President Umaru Yar’ Adua and wife of Ex-Kebbi State Governor Saidu Dakingari, Mrs Zainab Dakingari and Mrs Toyin Saraki, wife of the Senate President and former governor of Kwara State, Bukola Saraki.were said to be among those invited by the anti-corruption agency over alleged fraud.
According to online blog, Premium Times quoting a source at EFCC confirmed that Mrs Saraki, is wanted in relation to questionable inflow of funds into companies where she has interest. She is expected to report at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja on July 28, 2015; where a crack team of investigators have already been assembled to grill her.
Mrs Zainab Dakingari on the other hand is wanted for corruption charges to the tune of N2billion perpetrated during her husband’s tenure as governor of the Northwest Kebbi State.
SKYTREND NEWS gathered that Mrs. Dakingari was initially expected to report for questioning at the EFCC headquarters today. However, the former Kebbi first lady sent words that she was away to Saudi for Umrah (lesser hajj), and pleaded to be allowed to report on July 27, 2015.
When SKYTREND NEWS called Mr Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC Director of Media and Publicity on telephone, he simply said, "I'm aware that some former first ladies have been invited for questioning, but I do not have their names now."
Mrs Dakingari is expected to explain to operatives of the anti-graft agency the source of the steady stream of huge cash into her companies, while she held sway as ‘first lady’ of Kebbi State.
