EFCC Assembles No-Nonsense Team To Grill Saraki's Wife

These are not the best of times for the Sarakis. The husband is battling to keep his office in the senate, the wife is having sleepless nights over the resolve of the EFCC to send her to jail for corruption.

The EFCC has finally raised a team of crack investigators to grill Senate President Bukola Saraki’s wife, Oluwatoyin Saraki and the late President Umaru Yar’Adua’s daughter, Hajiya Zainab Dakingari.

An insider in EFCC said "we are ready for them."

Mrs. Saraki has written to EFCC, seeking to appear on Tuesday or Wednesday.  She expressed her readiness to cooperate with the anti-graft commission, claiming she had never received unlawful public funds.

A source in the commission said: “We have a crack team of investigators that will handle their matters with fairness and objectivity. Our invitation does not presume them guilty. There are petitions against them; we want to hear their side too. If there is no prima faciecase against them, the EFCC will release these women. So, we are still at a fact-finding stage.”
