that she was away to Saudi for Umrah
(lesser hajj), and pleaded to be allowed to
report on July 27, 2015 Zainab is expected to explain to the EFCC the
source of the influx stream of huge cash

Uwujaren, said: “I’m aware that a new set of
suspects were recently invited,” Mr.
Uwujaren adding that: “It’s not impossible
the two women are among them.”
