A former governor of Kwara State and All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bukola Saraki has been absolved of ownership of
a controversial amount of money stolen by an ex federal agent.
As the controversy over the ownership of N310 million allegedly stolen from the
Maitama, Abuja home of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki gathers storm, the Department of State Security Service, DSS,
Sunday night cleared him of any culpability.
The Department of State Security, DSS said in clear terms that the cash did not belong to
Saraki or any member of the National Assembly and accused its dismissed staff, who is now standing trial for armed
robbery, Abdulrasheed Maigari, of trying to fabricate a lie for a hidden motive.
It will be recalled that Maigari, a former DSS operative, had said that he and others connived to steal the huge cash from the
Senate President’s home when they were working as security operatives in his house.
