Saraki frowns at forfeiture order


Gbeleyi Abayomi

Former senate president sen Abubakar Bukola Saraki has described the court order forfeiting his property in Lagos as misleading.

The former governor of kwara took to his twitter handle to react to the court judgement describing it as lacking full facts of the law and misleading.

He said “My attention has been drawn to an Order granted by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos pursuant to an ex-parte application by @officialEFCC.

It is my belief that the Judge was misled into granting this Order and was not presented with the full position of the law or the facts”

“The Supreme Court specifically referred to No 17a McDonald Road, Ikoyi on pages 12, 13 and 26 of its judgment upholding the no-case submission made before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.”

Lastly the kwara born politician says he is confident that the order will be vacated once the facts are stated stating his lawyers will proceed with the process.

“I am confident that once these facts and the declaration of the Supreme Court are brought before the Court, this Order will be vacated. My lawyers will be approaching the Court immediately to achieve this.”
