How Nigeria Senate President Bribed CCT Chairman To Dismiss Damaging Assets Declaration Charges

To obtain the dismissal of the charges he faced at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Senate President Bukola Saraki paid heavily in cash, and in kind, SaharaReporters learned on Wednesday.

The cash payment, a whopping $2million, went to CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar.  The kind was a promise to the cabal at the Nigerian presidency to block Ibrahim Magu’s confirmation as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

A source close to the CCT revealed to SaharaReporters how Mr. Saraki and his lawyer, former Attorney General Kanu Agabi, had worked relentlessly since Saraki hired him, with the objective of stopping the trial one way or another.
FLASH: @bukolasaraki put a price tag of $2m to buy off the CCT judge if he agrees to decline jurisdiction or end the case on a technicality.
