Dr Bukola Saraki is home.
The former Senate President, sources confirm, has been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The Commission invited Saraki Saturday, July 31, 2021. Sources close to him said he was not arrested but was invited by the EFCC to make some clarifications on some issues before it.
Confirming Saraki’s status to Leadership Newspaper, Saraki’s spokesman, Barr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, said he was not arrested.
Also, in a statement, Saraki’s close associate, Umar Kazaure said he was not arrested.
“He was never arrested by anyone. This is the handiwork of his political detractors. He was at a wedding ceremony in Abuja today, and as i speak to you, he is in his house resting.
“They are just being envious of his popularity and good deeds as a political figure. This story they are peddling about is just to embarrass him and his teeming supporters, but they will not succeed.”
The two-time Governor of Kwara State has had brushes with anti-graft agencies. But each time, he came out unscathed.
