There was no evidence to show that Senate
President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, bought a piece of
undeclared property admitted Michael Wetkas, a
detective of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday.
The property in contention is the one at 15
McDonald Street, Ikoyi, Lagos, which Saraki
allegedly did not declare.
Wetkas, a witness of the prosecution, while under
cross-examined by Saraki’s lawyer, Paul Usoro
(SAN), also told the tribunal that he did not check if
the records of the property were at the Lagos Land
Registry.
Questioning the witness based on a joint inspection
report of the EFCC and the Code of Conduct Bureau
(CCB) of July 28, 2006 on the property, Usoro asked
if the committee from which the defendant allegedly
bought the property numbered the street.
Based on the answer of the Wetkas, Usoro said
there is no evidence linking Saraki to the property
the Federal Government is accusing him of not
declaring.
According to Usoro, “There is no evidence before
this tribunal that as at 2008 the defendant was in
possession of the property of 15a Macdonald Street,
Ikoyi Lagos.” - today.ng
