Documents retrieved from a certain driver who was driving a bulletproof Range Rover with the worth of 298million, has categorically clarified that the car belongs to Senator Bukola Saraki. The car was seized on January 11, 2017.
The car was seized by officers of the Nigerian Customs, according to regulations, kicking off a frenzied war led by Saraki against Hameed Ali, the Director General of Customs, with the Upper House demanding that Mr. Ali appear in uniform before it.
But speaking through spokesperson Yusuf Olaniyonu earlier today, Mr. Saraki tried to distance himself from the scandal.
He described as “outright falsehood” the allegation raised earlier by Senator Ali Ndume linking Mr. Saraki with the importation of the vehicle. That forced the Senate, in Saraki’s absence, to refer the matter to its Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions for investigation. It is unclear what would have happened had Mr. Saraki been present and wielding the gavel.
It is noteworthy that the Senate President was absent because of his trial by the Code of Conduct Bureau on a slew of assets declaration charges.
