2. BUKOLA SARAKI

SARAKI BUKOLA
Bukola Saraki became the first senate president in Nigeria to be issued with arrest warrants, when Danladi Umar the chairman of the Code Of Conduct Tribunal, issued an arrest warrant against Saraki on September 18, 2015.
The Code of Conduct Bureau cited a 13-count charge of corruption against Mr. Saraki. In charge number ABT/01/15, dated September 11, 2015 and filed before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Saraki is accused of offences ranging from anticipatory declaration of assets to making false declaration of assets in forms Saraki had filed with the Code of Conduct Bureau while he was governor of Kwara state. He was also accused of failing to declare some assets he acquired while in office as governor, acquiring assets beyond his legitimate earnings, and accused of operating foreign accounts while being a public officer.
An official of the Code of Conduct Bureau, Peter Danladi, stated in a court affidavit that the investigation of the various petitions of corruption, theft, money laundering, among others, against Saraki in 2010, was conducted jointly by the officials of the EFCC, CCB and the DSS. “The EFCC conducted its investigation on the various petitions and made findings which showed that the defendant/applicant abused his office, while he was the governor of Kwara State and was involved in various acts of corruption as the governor of the state. The defendant/applicant borrowed huge sums of money running into billions from commercial banks, particularly Guaranty Trust Bank, and used the proceeds of the loan to acquire several landed properties in Lagos, Abuja and London, while he was the governor of Kwara State.
On March 18, 2016, Kanu Agabi, Saraki’s lead counsel and ex-attorney general of Nigeria, led a huge delegation of 79 lawyers, to defend Saraki at the tribunal, in  recent developments,  the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar, directed that the trial of embattled Senate President will henceforth proceed day to day until the conclusion of the case.
