After several days of playing hide and seek backed with a mischievous
media campaign, the former governor of Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki,
on Monday afternoon surrendered to the Nigeria Police Force at its
headquarters in Abuja.
Reliable sources at the Force Headquarters confirmed that Saraki
arrived their office hours after several buses load of his supporters
arrived Abuja in solidarity. He is said to have been detained and
undergoing interrogation.
The police said that as governor, Saraki obtained a N9.7 billion loan
from the defunct Intercontinental Bank Plc through a proxy company, Joy
Petroleum, owned by his late aide, Matthew Obahor. But the senator had
claimed he had no link to the said loan and that he had no relationship
with the company, Joy Petroleum.
How long they would keep him remain to be seen. But the Force spokesman
said he will have to be with them until his interrogators are
satisfied...
He has now being released on bail by the Nigeria Police FORCE
