Why on earth is the efcc subjecting this woman to unnecessary harrazzment and trauma when the husband should have been the accused. Was Toyin the governor or Saraki? I think that the efcc has left the substance to chase the shadow. Tinubu and Co are still leaking their wounds for the humiliation suffered in the hands of Saraki. They are therefore fighting tooth and nail to pay back the Senate President by whatever means possible.
We will review and take appropriate action.
