Useless and clueless government
Busy witchhunting up and down. Corruption is thriving heavily under this administration,if you speak out, you will suddenly start having challenges. The APC national chairman is allegedly fond of asking people having issues with EFCC and ICPC to join the party and their sins will be forgiven : AND FROM HAPPENINGS IN THE POLITY, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING
Congratulations Nigerians, how many of you still remember the lofty electoral promises this particular govt made to you that convinced you to vote them in 2015

So you get a court order from an Abuja Federal high court restraining EFCC, EFCC goes another high court to shop for a counter order instead of going to a high court? Is that how it is done in other advanced climes?

There’s a Supreme Court judgement on ground that no Court can restrain the EFCC from prosecuting anyone.

Saraki is no saint, but why FG didn't go after him when he was in the the ruling party APC.

We’re you born yesterday.

Was it not the same corruption case through the CCT that led to him leaving APC in the first place.

They just want to weaken the opposition financially as much as possible so that they won't have enough money to withstand baba of bullion vans in coming elections.

Its Saraki 2day because he is a PDP member but APC should remember that what goes around comes around. A party who claims to fight corruption but yet Senator Goje #25 Billion EFCC case was canceld, Akpabio is now a minister, Orji is now a senator without any investigation, Gandollar was never investigated, Tinubu bullion van case has died low. APC should not cry foul when PDP captures power nd start victimising them cos they ar d one who laid d foundation

I still don't understand why our people keep shouting APC/PDP on this matter. My prayer is for him to permanently forfeit the properties. How much does he Saraki worth before elected as a governor, after spending 8yrs and another 8yrs as a Senator he's declaring N17trilion wealth.
Where did all this money comes from, if not the tax payers money of the state.

How many types of Nigerian politicians are "in other advanced countries"? How many medical doctors, special assistants to presidents, how many state governors and Senate presidents are like Senator Bukola Saraki "in other advanced countries"? Bukola Saraki may be your age mate for all you know, or maybe one or two years older than you, yet after helping to determine the course of your existence and your future for four years as Senate president, and miserably so; here you're extolling and clapping for one of your Oppressors! Ever seen Bukola Saraki commenting on contemporary issues on Nairaland? Just think about that, Bros. May God have mercy on you.

A Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, has ordered an interim forfeiture of two houses in Ilorin, Kwara State belonging to the immediate past Senate President, Bukola Saraki. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had approached the court presided over by Justice Ridwan Aikawa, for an order of interim forfeiture of the properties said to worth about N 1 billion on the ground that it was acquired through the proceeds of unlawful activity.

The anti-graft agency told the court in an exparte application that it ‘‘uncovered monumental fraud perpetrated in the treasury of the Kwara State Government between 2003 and 2011’’, when Saraki was governor of the state. ADVERTISEMENT Based on the application, the court ordered the temporary forfeiture of Saraki’s two properties designated as Plots No. 10 and No. 11 Abdulkadir Road, GRA, Ilorin, Kwara State. An operative of the EFCC, Olamide Sadiq, said in an affidavit filed in support of the ex parte application that the move for the forfeiture of the houses followed the findings of the EFCC after investigation and “the report of a committee set up to review sale of Kwara State Government houses during the reign of the Governor of Kwara State in the year 2003 and 2011.”

He said the EFCC also received “a damning intelligence report, showing monumental fraud perpetrated in the treasury of the Kwara State Government between 2003 and 2011.” Sadiq said, “Whilst the investigation was ongoing, several fraudulent transactions were discovered. “That whilst he (Saraki) held the aforementioned position (governor of Kwara State), the common pattern was that after payment of monthly allocation by the Federal Government to the Kwara State Government, a cumulative sum of not less than N100million will be deposited into the Kwara Government House account.

“That upon the payment of the said N100million, same will, in turn, be withdrawn in cash by one Mr Afeez Yusuf from the Kwara State Government House, Ilorin’s account in bits and brought to the Government House.” The EFCC said it believed that Saraki developed the two properties with proceeds of unlawful activities. Counsel for the commission, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, thereafter urged Justice Aikawa to order their temporary forfeiture to the Federal Government. In granting the order, Justice Aikawa directed the EFCC to publish the temporary forfeiture order in a national newspaper.

The judge adjourned the matter to December 17 for anyone interested in the properties to appear before him to show cause why the properties should not be permanently forfeited to the federal government. Meanwhile, Dr. Saraki has reiterated his position that the application to the Federal High Court, Lagos, for interim forfeiture order on his Ilorin home by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is an abuse of the court process and a violation of a subsisting order of the Federal High Court, Abuja. Saraki, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, noted that the Federal High Court in Abuja presided by Justice Taiwo Taiwo had given an order “restraining the respondents (Commission) by themselves, their subordinates, agents, servants, or privies whosoever, from seizing, impounding, taking over, confiscating or otherwise forfeiting the Applicant’s (Saraki) right to own and peacefully enjoy any of his assets and properties”.

The right to own and peacefully enjoy property is not absolute. It may be curtailed by Law. The Law is that such rights are not maintainable in law where such assets are proceeds of corruption. It is also the Law that is ultra vires the Court to restrain law enforcement agencies from doing their job.
