N11bn loan: Saraki shows up at Abuja SFU office

A former governor of Kwara State, now senator representing Kwara Central senatorial district, Dr Bukola Saraki, has honoured the invitation extended to him by the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) of the Nigeria Police.

But instead of doing so at the Lagos office of the SFU, which issued the invitation, Saraki went to its Abuja office.

Though details of what transpired when the former governor visited on Monday were still sketchy at press time, it was learnt that the officers in Abuja told him he was actually to report in Lagos.

Saraki was invited by the SFU to clarify his involvement in an N11 billion loan taken from Intercontinental Bank by a company in which he has interests.

The loan, over which a former Managing Direcotr of the bank, Lai Alabi, has been quizzed, was believed to have been diverted to other purposes, including purchase of choice buildings in Ikoyi and Victoria Island, Lagos.
