Alleged Corruption: EFCC Moves Against Saraki’s Wife, Yar’Adua’s Daughter

The daughter of former President Umaru Yar’ Adua and wife of
former Kebbi State Governor, Saidu Dakingari, Zainab Dakingari, has been
invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over alleged fraud to
the tune of N2billion perpetrated during her husband’s tenure as governor of
the Northwest State, Premium Times reports.

Also invited for questioning for alleged money laundering is
Toyin Saraki, wife of the Senate President and former governor of Kwara State,
Bukola Saraki.

Mrs Saraki, a source at the anti-graft agency disclosed, is
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. However, Premium Times
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.
