Silent Reporters revealed how Senate President Saraki and his wife collaborated in looting funds from Kwara state using fictitious names of depositors. The couple also scammed numerous other banks by taking out dubious loans, and plundering funds belonging to Kwara State.
Silent Reporters also revealed that Mrs. Saraki helped launder her husband's ill-gotten cash through various shady banking transactions and by making deposits into their personal accounts.
An EFCC investigator told Silent Reporters this evening that Mrs. Saraki “left knowing that there is a strong case against her.”
The investigator also disclosed that "many of the allegations against her [Mrs. Saraki] connect directly" to Mr. Saraki’s own activities.
EFCC officials told Silent Reporters on Tuesday that Mrs. Saraki arrived at their offices totally unprepared, and left shocked at how much investigators knew of her alleged crimes.
On Tuesday, an entourage of politicians and power brokers, including Senator Dino Melaye- who once headed an anti-corruption NGO- accompanied Mrs. Saraki to the EFCC offices in Abuja. Silent Reporters attempted to reach Senator Melaye to ascertain whether he accompanied Mrs. Saraki again today, but he could not be reached by phone.
A source at the EFCC told Silent Reporters that Mrs. Saraki “may be asked to return again for questioning" related to the commission's ongoing investigation into alleged theft and money laundering involving her husband and her.
The EFCC source said the anti-corruption would now explore issues that arose from Mrs. Saraki's responses to investigators' questions.
