I trust Dangote. Though very rich, knows the value of money, and would think twice before patronizing her(to buy a dress for his wife)

Flets:
Exactly how you know an inept and unserious government.

After spending over three months screaming probe on the pages of newspaper, they just realized they needed a working judiciary to achieve an anti-corruption probe.

When we said it back then that sanitizing the judiciary was the first move towards corruption fight... they called us wailers and further told us that Buhari will jail all of us as if we were in a military dispensation. Illiteracy is our biggest problem as a country

when did you say it back then? And who called you wailer for saying it? You don't have to lie to make a point, bro! This has rolled out from the tongue of every well meaning Nigerian. Everyone knows the way out is sanitizing the judiciary and that is what Mr president has been working on. He has mentioned it several times (from day 1)

oweman:
Can Sara I be as disgraceful or as corrupt as the drunken Jonathan ; please I hope no sobbings am just asking no harm is intended .

Only God knows, bro. If Saraki had the power GEJ had, he probably would do worse than GEJ. You really need to see what a mess he has made of Kwara.

hinwazaka:
Don't worry. You will be a living witness to PMB's fall from power. Stay tuned for further details.

you ll wait in vain. PMB's tenure will be the best ever. All what seems to be obstacles now will bow to pressure from him later. You stay tuned for further details, Mista hinwazaka

The Judiciary is the reason for the nation's backwardness. Take a common man to court and you ll see how "professional" the judge is in passing judgement..but take an influential man to court and watch as the case if not dismissed, rots in court.

President Muhammadu Buhari is in a dilemma over how to ensure the judiciary does not frustrate his plans to stem corruption in the country, THISDAY has learnt.

Investigations revealed that the president is trying to figure out how the judiciary can be  reformed to execute his agenda on the prosecution of corruption cases.

The president’s fears are not without basis. Many corruption cases filed by anti-corruption agencies have been pending at the courts several years after they were filed. The judiciary is often blamed for the delay.

If past experiences are anything to go by, the president’s plan to embark on the mass prosecution of corruption cases may end up dead on arrival.

The president fears that the judiciary, as presently constituted, is an impediment to the fight against corruption.
However, the president is relying on Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to come up with a solution.

In this wise, a select group comprising Justice Olubunmi Oyewole of the Court of Appeal, the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Vice-President, Mr. Rahman Adeola Ipaye, two lawyers based in Lagos — Messrs Femi Falana (SAN) and Tunde Irukera — managing partner of Osinbajo’s law firm SimmonsCooper Partners, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, and Mrs. Maryam Uwais, has been constituted by the vice-president.

The committee, THISDAY gathered, has been making suggestions on how to handle the judiciary.

Investigations revealed that one of the group’s proposals culminated in the constitution of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-Corruption recently set up by Buhari which has Professor Itse Sagay (SAN) as its chairman.

To ensure continuity, Owasanoye was made the secretary of the committee.

The advisory committee has no judge serving or retired as its member even though part of the committee’s remit is to advise the president on how to reform the criminal justice system.

It was also learnt that the committee’s mandate remains nebulous. When THISDAY contacted the secretary of the committee, Owasaoye, he claimed that the committee had terms of reference and promised to email a copy.

But several weeks after, no term of reference has been sent despite several reminders.

Moreover, statements by the chairman of the committee have left no one in doubt as to the fact that the committee has no clear terms of reference.

Since he assumed office, Buhari has not hidden his dissatisfaction with the judiciary. It is not surprising, said a source in the presidency, that no serving or retired judge has made it into his numerous appointments so far.

It was also learnt that the group coordinated by Osinbajo but led by Justice Oyewole came up with the suggestion that practising lawyers should be appointed directly into the Supreme Court and consequently one of such new appointees could be appointed the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) who will in turn drive the reform envisaged by the president.

This will enable the president bypass the age long practice of elevating a justice of the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court.

However, a source familiar with the issue said that some retired CJNs kicked against the move.

The former chief justices were said to have advised that experience and background in handling cases as judges must be one of the criteria for anyone to be appointed to the highest bench.

They however agreed that the president could make appointments directly into the Court of Appeal, but opposed doing the same for the Supreme Court, saying that it would set the wrong precedent at this time when there are more than enough qualified judges.

But analysts fear that the continued alienation of the judiciary will do the president no good.

“Some of the issues the president wants resolved can be handled administratively by the leadership of the judiciary, if only he will engage those at the helms of affair,” a senior lawyer who did not want to speak on the record, said.

The lawyer cited the amendments to practice direction proposed by the only female CJN, Justice Mariam Alooma Mukhtar, who retired last year.

Before her departure, Mukhtar initiated sweeping changes in practice direction across the courts that would enable courts to conclude criminal cases on time as against the present system where it takes years to conclude such cases.

She worked with chief judges of high courts, the Abuja High Court, and presiding justices of the various divisions of the Court of Appeal to put in place a system that could reduce the time it takes to conclude cases.

Under the scheme, a model practice direction was developed for all courts to fast-track trials of offences involving terrorism, rape, kidnapping, corruption, money laundering, human trafficking and related matters.

The practice directions also cover appeals to the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal.

The new practice direction for the Supreme Court requires lawyers to leave their phone numbers and emails so that notices of court sitting can be communicated to them quickly.

Titled: "Criminal Appeals Relating to the Offences of Terrorism, Rape, Kidnapping, Corruption, Money Laundering, Human Trafficking and Related Matters," the new practice direction seeks to establish a specialised system of case management in the Supreme Court that will provide for fair, impartial, expeditious administration of criminal appeals arising from cases listed above.

...And "is INEC the Judge?", I ask those celebrating up there ^^

FriedPlantain:
The forum isn't bad, you were just a bit unfortunate that the first few folks that commented on your post are the few bad eggs amongst us. There is no other place in this country that one can get thousands of cheerful helper like on this forum.

Just follow the advice given to you by folks above, everything would work out well.

@ the emboldened, true that.

@ the topic.. For her own safety, its better she endures till the time she ll be able to afford a place close to her place of work.

And frankly speaking, you don't expect people to be willing to help in this kind of situation, knowing fully well how wicked the world has become...that's for their own safety

hinwazaka:
The interim president of Burkina Faso thought it was all good until yesterday. You can never tell what next year may bring. For all you know there could be a plan in the offing to sack the President next year and deal ruthlessly with all those who chose ethnicity over democracy.

Mr hinwazaka and his history lessons. I read the goebbels story. Well done

You think Nigeria is Burkina faso? SMH

hinwazaka:
By the time September will come and go, and the list will not be out, we will see how you will spin the story. Just keep in mind that even those who provided the ink for Goebbels to sign documents were tried as collaborators and hanged. Be very careful.

what is that suppose to mean? Is that a threat or what? "Be very careful" in/with what? else what?

hinwazaka:
Whether PMB likes it or not, he must release that ministerial list. Even if we have to drag it out of him, he must release it. A thousand SR fictitious reports can not save him. If he likes let him send CIA and MI6 to assassinate Akpabio. If Saraki stole 90 trillion dollars, that is not our concern now. He must release that list. Those ministers from mars must come down and save us. MR PRESIDENT, RELEASE THE LIST. No more delay tactics, we want your list ASAP. He has gotten to the river and he must either sink or swim. For fools who support the President blindly, keep on drooling on Sahara hand me downs. The President can deceive the likes of Midolan, Ngenekwenu and Passingshot, but not us. Mr PRESIDENT YOU MUST RELEASE YOUR MINISTERIAL LIST NOW, SEPTEMBER IS ALMOST AT ITS END. RELEASE THE LIST NOW

Take it easy on yourself, Mr hinwazaka. He already promised you this month. I know you can't wait to criticize the list. It will soon 'land'

hedonistic:
If Kwara State is Saraki's "asset", then Lagos, Osun, and to some extent OYO and Ogun are Bola Tinubu's ATM machines. You should have noted that in your stupid post instead of focusing on Saraki alone. Bloody hypocrite.

Mister, this thread is all about saraki. When its tinubu's turn, we ll discuss him.

OZAOEKPE:
"We know very well the mission of SR, help me beg Aminat508 to forgive me. I know she's angry, and she will surely come on your thread, using this medium to say I'm sorry. It won't happen again, just let me know you not vexed, I promise never to mention you again". Quote me anywhere.

OZAOEKPE:
"Najj.com is far more credible than the so-called sahara reporters, saraki remains my role model, no matter the scandals". Quote me anywhere

lol..because naij.com featured the post of your god? SMH...well, I ll stop respecting sahara reporters the day u begin to respect them.

modath:
Bros, when i wake for vigilante, i'll read this &do justice to it,, i dont want figures like monopoly money to give me nightmares...

What people need this kind of obscene wealth for is beyond my human understanding.

LWKMD.. @ the emboldened.

I wonder too. They gather so much as if its certain they ll live forever.

Altogether, from this very conservative estimate of unexplained wealth, Bukola Saraki has more than 14.1 billion naira (14,111,405,580 naira) according to declaration forms and police investigations of him.

Kwara State as a whole is Saraki's source of wealth. His inheritance, his investment and his everything. He has privatized virtually everything. May God deliver kwarans from his hands

Cc: modath, Ngeneukwenu

SaharaReporters has exclusively obtained documents revealing Senate President Bukola Saraki’s asset declaration in 2003. The documents come hours after SaharaReporters reported that the Code of Conduct Tribunal formally charged the embattled Senate President with 13 counts of financial crime, money laundering, and unexplained assets. Mr. Saraki’s trial is expected to commence tomorrow, September 18, 2015, as he has been officially served today with the charges.

SaharaReporters has published a series of investigative reports detailing Senator Saraki and his wife, Toyin Saraki’s, career of plundering Societe Generale Bank, where he was an executive director and in which the senator’s family had controlling shares, as well as the finances of Kwara State during his eight-year tenure as governor. 

An investigation by the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigerian Police Force revealed that Mr. Saraki not only went on a massive stealing spree that contributed to the collapse of Societe General Bank, but that he also masterminded a series of fraudulent schemes by taking out loans and bribing bank officials not to collect on those loans. Altogether, Bukola Saraki has accumulated millions of dollars in unexplained expenses and assets.

The latest documents offer a glimpse into his life of unexplained luxury and asset accumulation. The asset declaration forms also offer a glimpse into Mr. Saraki’s clever maneuvers to conceal his stolen wealth by passing off some assets to his wife, Toyin Saraki, and their two children, Semi Saraki and Teniola Saraki.

It is remarkable that Mr. Saraki’s 2003 Declaration of Assets Forms were filed on May 12, 2003, seventeen days before he was sworn into office as Governor of Kwara State. Therefore, the assets he declared in the forms reflected the wealth Mr. Saraki had accumulated before he began an extensive plundering of Kwara State funds.

Mr. Saraki’s 2003 asset declaration documents reveal his astonishing wealth with no explanation for how he obtained it. He and his companies had more than N51.5 million in Nigeria when he submitted these forms to the Code of Conduct Bureau in 2003. Mr. Saraki also had cash assets, under his name or those of his companies, of at least 2.9 million pounds sterling and $400,000 dollars in 2003.

In addition to his cash assets, Mr. Saraki was also the registered owner of at least eight properties in Nigeria, calculated in 2003 to be worth more than N2.2 trillion. Mr. Saraki was also the registered owner of eight properties in London, which he purchased roughly during the same time. By 2003, according to Mr. Saraki’s assets declaration forms, he owned properties in the UK worth more than $12.6 million.

Before becoming a State governor, Mr. Saraki also purchased 15 vehicles. The automobiles consisted of a Ferrari, 10 Mercedes Benzes, and four bulletproof cars valued at more than N263.4 million. All the vehicles were purchased between 1997 and 2002, with most of them acquired through “business” transactions.

The assets declaration forms also reveal that Mr. Saraki and his companies had stockholdings worth 2,145,550 naira, 2,600,00 Euros, and 6,108,33 US dollars. 

The documents also reveal that Mr. Saraki’s wife, Toyin, and their two children, owned assets that were inexplicable and highly suspicious. The forms showed that the assets held by Mrs. Saraki and the senator’s two children included cash, property, and stock holdings valued at more than N8 million, 4.5 million pounds sterling, and $4.6 million. 

The total wealth, of cash and other assets, that Bukola Saraki decided to declare on his assets declaration forms was 2.607 billion naira (2,607,110,550 naira), 23.7 million US dollars (23,783,333), 7.4 million Pounds Sterling (7,406,500 Pounds Sterling), and 2.6 million Euros (2,600,000 Euros).

The grand total of Bukola Saraki’s wealth, as of 2003, is 10.2 billion naira (10,209,270,295 naira). However, as SaharaReporters and Nigerian police investigations have shown, this is only a small glimpse of Bukola Saraki’s total wealth.

SaharaReporters has previously released documents detailing a police investigation of Bukola Saraki, authored by the Chief Superintendent of Police for Anti-Money Laundering, which offered another glimpse into Saraki’s criminal and unexplained financial activity. This investigation revealed that Bukola Saraki conservatively deposited more than 2 billion naira into accounts belonging to him, in addition to his dollar accounts.

The investigation found that between May 2009 and May 2011 Bukola Saraki deposited at least 4.5 million dollars (4,560,871 US dollars) into his dollar accounts. It was also found in the investigation that more than 5 million dollars made its way into Bukola Saraki’s Zenith Bank account during his time as Governor of Kwara State.

Altogether, from this very conservative estimate of unexplained wealth, Bukola Saraki has more than 14.1 billion naira (14,111,405,580 naira) according to declaration forms and police investigations of him.

Bukola Saraki’s latest statement on this matter simply states that it is all an “outright fabrication and mischief,” while also noting that he continues to fight corruption.

You ve already captioned it na

After slaying Bishop Kuka, its now Saraki's turn. Weldone Ngene

Saraki will go down in history as the world's most disgraced senate president if care is no taken. He is so corrupt that a whole state in Nigeria is now his Asset. I won't be surprised if "Kwara" comes first and last on his Asset declaration form.
