The Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, has reportedly invited the daughter of former President Umaru Yar’ Adua and wife of former Kebbi State Governor, Saidu Dakingari, Zaina Dakingari over alleged N2bn fraud.
PREMIUM TIMES reports that also invited for questioning for alleged money laundering is Toyin Saraki, wife of the Senate President and former governor of Kwara State, Bukola Saraki.
The Senate President’s wife was invited to explain the 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.
On the other hand, Mrs. Dakingari was initially expected to report for questioning at the EFCC headquarters today.
However, the former Kebbi First Lady sent words that she was away to Saudi for Umrah (lesser hajj), and pleaded to be allowed to report on July 27, 2015.
Contacted for comments, EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said, “I’m aware that a new set of suspects were recently invited”.
Uwujaren added, “It’s not impossible the two women are among them.”
