Three aides of Senate President Bukola Saraki are being probed by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission( EFCC) over the alleged
diversion of N19 billion out of the London-Paris loan refund of N522.7
billion.
According to The Nation, 15 accounts of some individuals and companies
have been frozen as the probe deepened and even a damning report already
submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari..

aides, a former Heritage Bank Executive Director Mr. Robert Mbonu, and
three others on how N3.5billion was wired into some accounts.
