The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has granted the wife of the Senate President, Mrs. Toyin Saraki, administrative bail after she was invited for a chat with the commission for two days over allegations of corruption.
The bail came as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has distanced the party from the travails of Mrs. Saraki in the hands of the anti-graft commission.
Mrs. Saraki, who defied the early morning rain yesterday to continue with the grilling started on Tuesday, was granted administrative bail after about five hours with the investigators.
Sources at the EFCC said the former Kwara State first lady was invited by the commission over the large inflow of money into her private company during her husband’s tenure as Kwara State governor.
EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, who confirmed the bail, explained that it had not exonerated Mrs. Saraki from the offence she was accused of.
Uwujaren said Mrs. Saraki could be invited at any time necessary for further interrogation.
