senators. That is a significant drop from the previous figure of Senators who
accompanied Saraki to the tribunal. Saraki is currently standing trial at the

the Upper legislative Chambers who had accompanied him to show their support,

Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Michael Wetkas had told the tribunal how
Saraki used over N522m to procure a property in Ikoyi area of Lagos State, adding
that the property was part of many others not declared by the Senate President.
