Magu and Saraki
The immediate past Senate President, Bukola Saraki says the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, misled Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court, Lagos into granting an order of temporary forfeiture of two of his properties in Ikoyi area to the Federal Government.
The Federal High Court in Ikoyi had on Monday ordered the temporary forfeiture of two properties located in Ikoyi area of Lagos State and belonging to Saraki, to the Federal Government.
However, Saraki, in series of tweets on Monday evening, said his attention had been drawn to an order granted by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos pursuant to an ex-parte application by the EFCC.
“It is my believe that the Judge was misled into granting this order and was not presented with the full position of the law or the facts.
“It is my believe that the Court was not informed of a pending Order of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja restraining the EFCC from taking any steps regarding the seizure of the property in question pending the determination of a suit filed before that Court,” he said.
Saraki said he also believed that the Court was not made aware that the property in question formed part of the judgment of the Court given on July 6, 2018 where the Supreme Court declared that the source of funds for the purchase of the property was not illicit as claimed by the prosecution.
According to him, “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.
“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.”

Bukola you are a genetic thief and a kleptomaniac son of kleptomaniac father.So shut up your mouth.Provide my money you stole in your bank.OLE is still talking.
EFCC did not make mistakes, how many years did you serve to acquire those properties, you have houses in Ilorin, houses in Lagos and Abuja, where do you get those money, I now believe in O TO GE,
Bukola Saraki, you have plans with Atiku to buy 90% of NNPC, true or false, thanks to the 15,000,000 + of Nigerians who voted for PMB, Atiku and Bukola Saraki has plans to sell Nigeria, he will never forget Alli Ndume remember this same Saraki, he bought a bullet car Senator Alli Ndume leak the secret, he suspended Senato Ndume from the upper chambers and he denied it, the Offa robbers use his cars for robbery and you still allow this individual to see light of day, if you don’t see it, you will hear what’s happening to America President Trump, that was what Atiku and Bukola Saraki wanted to do, but they FAILED! Nigerians don’t sleep open your eyes on PDP, Please Nigerian watch out for Uche Secondus,
This thief called Saraki will always have an excuse to make.
