Reports are now saying that the daughter of former President Umaru Yar’ Adua and wife of former Kebbi State Governor, Saidu Dakingari, Zainab Dakingari, have been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged fraud to the tune of N2 billion perpetrated during her husband’s tenure as governor of the Northwest State.
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, reporters have gathered that the former Kebbi first lady sent words that she was away to Saudi for Umrah, and pleaded to be allowed to report on July 27, 2015. Dankingari is expected to explain to operatives of the anti-graft agency the source of the steady stream of huge cash into her companies, while she was the "first lady" of Kebbi State. When contacted for comments, EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said, “I’m aware that a new set of suspects were recently invited,” Mr. Uwujaren said. “It’s not impossible the two women are among them.” For more scintillating and juicy stories, follow the official Naijapals accounts On Twitter - @Naijapals and Facebook - www.facebook.com/naijapals

Why must it the be the enemies of APC that are being probed. This govt seems to be selective in all they are doing. Oshun state governor has mismanaged state funds for over 8yrs and we are all clapping for him, even gave him extra money to steal. Up APC. Hope we are not going back to the era of OBJ where EFCC was only used to clamp down on all the enemies OBJ.

This is a commendable move by the EFCC ... No scared cow will be spared in the ongoing war on corruption .it doesn't matter whether you are the wife of the senate president , former minster or even former president. If you have mismanaged/stolen the country's resources , you will be investigated and prosecuted .....
