The anti-corruption took a turn when the senate committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions began a probe of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Lamorde, over allegations that he diverted over N1 trillion being proceeds recovered from convicted persons by the agency.
It was reported that ‘Saraki planned to smear the integrity of the EFCC’ by contacting Mr. Uboh, the petitioner, and urging him to submit a petition to the Senate blackmailing the anti-corruption agency through Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, a first-term senator from Delta State.
But Saraki denied the report claiming that “It is pertinent and with all sense of responsibility and commitment to state unequivocally that the story is far from the truth.”
