EFCC Invites Saraki’s Wife, Yar’Adua’s Daughter Over Fraud Allegations!

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited the daughter of former President Umaru Yar’ Adua and wife of former Kebbi State Governor, Saidu Dakingari, Zainab Dakingari, and Toyin Saraki, wife of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki over graft related allegations.

Both women are being sought after by the anti-graft agency over alleged fraud during their husbands’ tenures as governors.
While Mrs. Dakingari is expected to answer questions in relation to alleged fraud of about N2 billion, Mrs. Saraki, wife of the Senate President and former governor of Kwara State, is reportedly wanted in relation to questionable inflow of funds into companies where she has interest.

She is expected to report at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja on July 28, 2015; where a crack team of investigators have already been assembled to grill her.
Mrs. Dakingari on the other hand was initially expected to report for questioning at the EFCC headquarters today. It was however gathered that the former Kebbi first lady sent words that she was away to Saudi for Umrah (lesser hajj), and pleaded to be allowed to report on ‎ July 27, 2015.

She is expected to explain to operatives of the anti-graft agency the source of the steady stream of huge cash into her companies, while she held sway as ‘first lady’ of Kebbi State.
Contacted for comments, EFCC spokesp‎erson, Wilson Uwujaren, said, “I’m aware that a new set of suspects w‎ere recently invited,” Mr. Uwujaren said. “It’s not impossible the two women are among them.”
