The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has written a letter to the Clerk of the Senate, demanding the receipts, cash books and documents of the contracts of the Office of the President of the 8th Senate led by Bukola Saraki.

The EFCC, in a letter signed by the Director of Operations, Mohammed Umar, said it was investigating cases of conspiracy, stealing and money laundering.

In the letter with reference number CR: 3000/EFCC/ABJ/CMU/SAK/Vol1/168, the commission asked the clerk to also attach any other information that might assist the anti-graft agency in its investigation.

The probe is different from the one involving Saraki’s eight-year tenure as governor of Kwara State.

The letter titled, ‘Investigation activities. Re: Office of the President of the Senate, read in part, “This commission is investigating a case of conspiracy, stealing and money laundering in which the need to obtain certain clarification in respect of transaction carried out in the above mentioned office has become imperative.

“In view of the above, you are kindly requested to avail us with the certified true copies of the following: All cash books, payment vouchers, contract award letters, evidence of contract bidding, agreement and certificate of contract completion from 2015 till date.

“Certified true copies of all financial retirement made within the same period and any other information that may assist the commission in its investigation.”

The letter, it was learnt, was what prompted Saraki to approach the Federal High Court, Abuja, claiming his human rights were being abused.

Justice Taiwo Taiwo, in turn, granted an ex parte order restraining the commission and five other agencies of the Federal Government from continuing the investigations into certain corruption allegations against Saraki.

The former Senate President said in a letter addressed to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adamu Abdu-Kafarati, that the bureaucracy of the National Assembly was in charge of approving contracts and not the office of the Senate President.

He wrote, “My Lord, in the National Assembly, the presiding officers or the political leadership does not handle contract awards or financial matters of the federal legislature. The bureaucracy, that is the body we call National Assembly Management, does.
