I lost N12m to burglars - Saraki

SENATE President, Bukola Saraki, Sunday, said he lost the sum of N12 million from his administrative office in Kwara State to burglars two weeks ago. Saraki’s disclosure of the amount, was in response to a report by SaharaReporters, an online platform, that thieves stole his money running into several millions of naira recently. But the Senate President said he had since informed the Kwara State Police Command of the development, saying he was awaiting report of investigation into the matter. In a statement, entitled : “SaharaReporters’ Story Full of Falsehood and Exaggeration”, posted on his website, through his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki said the online medium’ version quoting the lost sum of money as being in several millions of naira was exaggeration.
