CROWNWEALTH019:
Why are Nigerians so pained, the poor woman is being attacked and I see cows defending that useless attacker


More wins for Saraki

OgogoroFreak:
Saraki na big thief na. Who doesn't know that already.

Sarkin:
continue aiding your looters and oppressors till you have nothing else.

deji68:
is like u calling the poor woman a thief without telling us what she stole.....abi na Okada Buhari pikin dey ride .. u now see u are the idiot

Adaowerri111:



Has saraki been caught? If yes, by who?

Saintp:


Lol. Nigerians will always defend their own thieves. The most stupid thing is that people fight the battle for these thieves while the children of the thieves enjoy themselves. I expect the likes of Yusuf buhari, saraki's children, Tinubu children, all the children of PDP and APC politicians fight themselves since they are the biggest beneficiaries but no, it is the online miscreants who take it upon themselves to fight for these thieves we call politicians.
Make no mistake, the person who called saraki a thief was just fighting for his own adored thief not because he believes saraki is a thief. If saraki changes course and start supporting his own thief, this same person will no longer see him as a thief.
I don't know when average Nigerians will understand that these political fights is not for thier interest rather it is for the selfish interest of the political class.

All politician are thieves agreed, but SARAKI greediness is outta this world. Ruled for eight good years nothing tangible to show for it.

Importing farmers from Zimbabwe to Kwara state for farm without empowering those farmers on ground, just an avenue to Loot.

This court must have acquainted him of this too ba?

In November 2017 an investigation conducted by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalism cited his name in the list of politicians named in "Paradise Papers" allegations.[38]

Again reason why they rejected MAGU.
The EFCC has reportedly indicted the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and some of his aides in the alleged laundering of up to N3.5 billion from the Paris Club Loan Refund. The EFCC investigation was presented to President Buhari in a report delivered on March 10, five days before the senate rejected acting EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu.

Between I am from Kwara so I am directly affected. The hatred for him is real and voting him, his cronies and God's sons out is the new Agenda.


SARAKI oleeeeee.

Awoo88:

Stop defending undefendable. The full detail of the bike was available. Google the incident and being stupid. It is not good for your brain power

GavelSlam:


If they ask a numpty like me to even tell us the color of the bike I will start convulsing.

PrecisionFx:



coming from someone whose sole duty is to defend the failed dullardic daura fossil online

PrecisionFx:


Our focus is for Buhari to head back to daura.

anigbajumo:


Not only saraki sir,99% of both present nd past politicians.They are crook....

AtikuNetwork:


Why should I prove anything to you? Are you not the one accusing them? Take your evidence to efcc/icpc or the courts and try your luck na, abi which one be my own inside? I only made a statement of fact.

Integrator1:


Lol. Accepted all are thieves but some still have conscience to say the least. SARAKI has none.
Tinubu still has conscience, he performed when he was a governor, chose a better candidate afterwards, then Ambode now, which aids continuity and Development in lagos state. To start mentioning some of their performances yiu and I know it would take at least a page.

This administration some lives have thoroughly been touched by the federal government, Npower, feeding kids, trade-moni, cash for old people at all. 1st time masses have directly felt presence of federal government though they are still below average in performance.
Sure-p was initiated during Jonathan's era, I didn't see a soul nor spirit that benefited from it.

But this thief called SARAKI did nothing, and the stooge he imposed on Kwarans did absolutely nothing, no single projects to point to! No infrastructural development, no agricultural benefits, no bursary award to students, workers are being owed.

He decides the chairmen, councillors, Et all sorts with his entitlement attached. I pity those ipods supporting him. He'd do worse than all Nigerian immediate and past presidents have/ are currently doing?

AtikuNetwork:
It is the cross politicians have to bear. The day you become a politician in Nigeria is the day you automatically become a thief in the yes of the public, no matter what, and you can't fight it. The moment you get tagged a 'thief', it sticks. Ask Atiku and others. The opposition doesn't even have to prove that you have stolen, all they have to do is just accuse you.

Buterflyle0:


What rubbish!

Why call them biggest thieves when according to you they have not been caught. Since they haven't been caught, how then did you arrive at your deluded conclusion

Felixv:


My brother. One step at a time. One crook at a time.

We have to wake up. People like Saraki and his family hate us to the core.

The sooner we all learn this the better. They live in the best houses, send their kids to the best schools — and guess what, it is Nigeria’s money. Not Their own.

Saraki and his ilk are the most selfish people I have known and the way they talk down on us is unreal.

No senator in the US earns as much as Saraki, no British member of parliament earns as much as Saraki, not even in China or Germany - and these are the two richest countries on earth.

So, ask your hero Saraki - a man who never had a single regular job in his life ( he only had worked in SSGB before becoming a governor) ,how much he earns as a senator.

Integrator1:
See this woman defending her husband?? Wonders shall never end. Society general bank comes to mind.

One day is for thief one day is for owner, you'd surely be caught.

SARAKI OOOOOLEEEEEE

EXCLUSIVE: Seychelles begins probe of Saraki, wife, for alleged money laundering


June 22, 2018Samuel Ogundipe




Authorities in Seychelles have opened a criminal investigation into the multi-million dollar assets which Senate President Bukola Saraki and his wife, Toyin, are believed to hold through offshore shell companies in tax havens, PREMIUM TIMES can report.

Bukola and Toyin Saraki are being targeted by financial intelligence operatives for their “suspicious” use of offshore shell companies as uncovered in the Panama Papers investigation published in 2016, according to new records obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and shared with PREMIUM TIMES and other partners.

Investigators at the Seychelles Financial Intelligence Unit said they are interested in determining whether or not Mrs Saraki stood as a front for her husband in the ownership of some of the offshore holdings linked to the family when a trove of offshore assets managed by Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca, was leaked to the media.

The investigators are also working to determine if the transactions undertaken with the shell companies were used to launder funds or carry out other suspicious activities.

Two weeks after the Sarakis were exposed as owning undeclared offshore assets in violation of Nigeria’s code of conduct regulations, detectives from that country’s FIU asked Mossack Fonseca to furnish them with all documents relating to Sandon Developments Ltd, a firm registered in Seychelles under Toyin Saraki’s name.

Mossack Fonseca responded to the request on April 29, 2016, by forwarding a link to the PREMIUM TIMES article on the Panama Papers as well as all documents relating to Sandon Ltd, including international passports and business activities.

The status of the investigation, however remained unclear as there is no record of any update about it since Mossack Fonseca responded to the authorities’ requests at the end of April 2016.

Mrs Saraki registered Sandon Ltd in 2011 and used it to buy a family property at #8 Whittaker Street, Belgravia, London SW1W 8JQ.

Mr Saraki denied links to the offshore assets in 2016, saying they belonged to his wife’s family. But information obtained by PREMIUM TIMES at the time indicated that the Senate President merely used his wife as a front, and Seychelles authorities also found the denial unconvincing.

The revelations were amongst the findings of a lengthy investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and more than 100 other global news organizations – including PREMIUM TIMES.

PREMIUM TIMES was the only Nigerian publication involved in the investigation, which lasted a year before the first set of stories started running on April 3.

For two weeks, Yusuph Olaniyonu, a spokesperson for Mr Saraki, did not return PREMIUM TIMES requests for comments about the criminal investigation of his principal and spouse in Seychelles.

Nigerian authorities had previously stated that they were investigating Mr Saraki’s offshore assets that were not declared in contravention of the law, but no charges have been brought against him.

Offshore shell entities are not necessarily fraudulent. There are legitimate uses for them by businesspersons across the world, but several other people, including criminals, have used them for untoward activities.

When Mrs Saraki registered Sandon Ltd on January 12, 2011 in Seychelles, she listed Babatunde Morakinyo, a long-term personal aide and friend of Mr Saraki, as a shareholder.

Mr Morakinyo was amongst the top aides of Mr Saraki who were identified by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as laundering billions of naira in suspected bribes from the Paris Club refund to Nigerian states in 2017.

While incorporating that Sandon Ltd, documents show, Mrs Saraki bought a curious service from Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian firm under which she tucked the hidden assets.

PREMIUM TIMES further reported at the time that Sarakis used nominee directors in order to perhaps avoid being identified as the beneficial owner of Sandon. Nominee directors are sometimes used in tax havens to conceal real owners of companies and assets.

She then made an undertaking indemnifying the Panamanian company “in respect of all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, costs and expenses whatsoever as may be incurred or become payable by you in respect of or arising out of any member or employee or associate of your company or associated companies holding any office, directorship or shareholdings in the company or by reason of or in consequence of any act or decision made by any such person or company in connection with the management and/or administration of the said company.”

Shortly after the company was incorporated, Mrs. Saraki used it, in July 2011, to buy the property on Whuttaker Street, Belgravia, London SW1W 8JQ.

The property, acquired from Renocon Property Limited, a company registered in the British Virgin Island, was never disclosed to Nigerian authorities as required by the country’s code of conduct law

dafeyankee:
The Saraki's are thieves %100.

That the wife wants to be supportive of the husband is very annoying. I have seen thieves in real life,and on television.

And even Robin Hood the great thief in the movies did not steal a whole state, like Saraki stole Kwara State,and the State with her resources has not been found.

One man fa.

Ojiofor:
The pained Tajudeens of Yoruba land are calling Saraki thief because he left APC,while he was in APC they never called him a thief and they reserved all thier insults to GEJ's family.Meanwhile the biggest thief in Nigeria political history is Thief Tinubu.

007inc:

Tell us more about Saint Buhari! Mugu

Buterflyle0:


You mean I should tell you more about his ability to save up on our foreign reserves despite meeting oil at the price of $25pb?

Or would you like me to tell you how he was able to still bail out states despite oil prices being that low?

Or would you like me to tell you how he was able to pay for contracts GEJ only awarded but never funded?

Or would you like me to tell you how he has successfully bailed out and keeps bailing out about 30 states which GEJ rendered bankrupt despite oil prices being at $130pb under GEJ?

Or should I tell you how he has NEVER borrowed to pay salaries despite low oil prices and a total oil revenue of about $94b in 3 years while GEJ with a total oil revenue of $398b in 4 years still ended up depleting our foreign reserves from $55b to $26b and still borrowed to pay salaries.

Which one would you like to hear first?
