SAN FRANCISCO, April 03, (THEWILL) – The Department of State Security (DSS) has cleared the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, of ownership of N310 million alleged to have been stolen from his house.
According to a statement signed by Sanni Onogu, Chief Press Secretary to Saraki, he said that the reports which had been proven false by the Police and DSS were resurfacing again.
He declared that the DSS had stated in clear terms that the cash did not belong to Saraki or any member of the National Assembly but rather accused its dismissed staff, Abdulrasheed Maigari, who is now standing trial for armed robbery, of trying to fabricate a lie for a hidden motive.
THEWILL recalls 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.
However, the media office of the Senate President denied for the reports which first surfaced in December 2015.
According to the statement, the report was the handiwork of those who only wanted to rub the name of the President of the Senate in the mud.
Onogu therefore urged Nigerians to disregard the report, which has re-surfaced, stating that it remains untrue.
