Eniola AkinkuotuThe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has written a letter to the Clerk of the Senate, demanding the receipts, cash books and documents of the contracts of the Office of the President of the 8th Senate led by Bukola Saraki. The EFCC, in a letter signed by the Director of Operations, Mohammed Umar, said it was investigating cases of conspiracy, stealing and money laundering. The former Senate President said in a letter addressed to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adamu Abdu-Kafarati, that the bureaucracy of the National Assembly was in charge of approving contracts and not the office of the Senate President. The bureaucracy, that is the body we call National Assembly Management, does. In his own letter, however, Saraki said the EFCC was after him because Magu believed he had a hand in the refusal of the 8th Senate to confirm his appointment.
