Saraki: EFCC Tendered Incomplete Evidence - Witness by 2050thinker(m): 12:58am On May 26, 2016
The trial of the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki resumed at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, on Wednesday with an admission by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that some of the evidence tendered before the tribunal were incomplete.

The Commission made the admission through its first

prosecution witness, Michael Wetkas.

Saraki is currently facing a 16- count charge of false asset declaration while he was the Governor of Kwara State.

At yesterday’s resumed hearing, Wetkas, an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, alleged that Saraki did not declare a property he bought in 1993 during his assets declaration of 2003.

Wetkas said, “Saraki on 16 September 2003, did not declare a property he purchased in Maitama, Abuja in 1993.”

He alleged that Saraki acquired the property through his company, Carlyed Properties Limited.

When asked by Saraki’s lawyer, Paul Usoro, SAN, to verify exhibit 20, a letter by the EFCC asking the Abuja Geographical Information System, AGIS, requesting for information on the property Saraki did not declare, which he tendered before the tribunal, Wetkas admitted that the commission tendered an incomplete evidence.

Wetkas said “I believe that in the course of administrative work and numbering some parts went missing

While Oyo state governor (ajimobi) could not complete a mere pedestrian bridge in Apete in over four years. Yet he claims to know more than Obama and Albert Einstein

Please let check this aspect of argument on Saraki CCT trial.
Saraki's lawyer claimed that saraki's name was not mentioned in the documents ownership of Allied Properties and Investment, but wetkas make us believe that Saraki himself declared the company as his asset in the asset declaration form. One point to conviction.
110) Wetkas : My Lord even though the documentation is in the name of Allied Properties and Investment Ltd
111) Wetkas : We believe it belongs to the defendant because Allied Properties & Investment Ltd is his company

112)" Wetkas : And he later declared the company as his in later assets declaration "

113) Usoro: That's all?

Wetkas : for now
114) Usoro : As an aside, the defendant may be the first shareholder to appropriate ownership of a property to himself.
115) Usoro : As far as the entirety of this doc is concerned, you didn't see the defendant's name mentioned
116) Wetkas : I don't remember seeing his name

Usoro: Please check very well
