Dr. Saraki reacts to the court order to return his properties that EFCC seized

       Bukola Saraki's Legacyi

The former Senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki has reacted to the sacking of the former boss of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) boss, Ibrahim Magu. He said that the former EFCC boss took the non-confirmation of his appointment by the senate personal. Magu throughout his duration at the helm of EFCC was never confirmed by the senate.

 On two occasions his appointment confirmation was presented to the senate, the upper house rejected it due to security issues raised by the Department of State Services (DSS) and at the time in question Dr. Bukola Saraki was the Senate President.

In his statement on Friday Dr. Saraki said, “Today, as always, I thank Almighty Allah as I welcome the judgment of the Federal High Court, Lagos, by the Honorable Justice Rilwan M. Aikawa in which the court dismissed in its totality the application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for a forfeiture order on my home in Ilorin, Kwara state.

“I am particularly happy that the court specifically ruled that there was no evidence that the property was built with any illicit or stolen funds from the Kwara state government or any other institution or quarter, whatsoever.

“The last five years have been very challenging for me and my family. I have endured and defeated one false allegation and malicious litigation after another, in ill-motivated persecution, intimidation and harassment, through which some vested interests sought to damage my name and label me with charges of corruption but with the grace of Allah, I have always been victorious.

“I thank God for the outcome of this case which is the fifth victory in cases in which the EFCC was either the main investigating agency or the plaintiff.

“It is obvious that the EFCC leadership under its erstwhile acting chair, Mr. Ibrahim Mustapha Magu decided to take the issue of his non-confirmation by the 8th Senate which I led, personally.

“However, I know that the Senate under my leadership only followed the due and normal procedure during the confirmation process, and we never executed any personal agenda against Magu. The records of the Senate during the period are there for the perusal of all Nigerians interested in the truth.”
