Former governor of Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Monday afternoon surrendered to the Nigeria Police Force at its headquarters in Abuja.
Poliec sources confirmed to journalists that Saraki appeared at the headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force on Monday afternoon.
He had said in a statement on Saturday that he would surrender himself on Monday.
Saraki, who is a sitting senator, had been sought by the Special Fraud Unit of the NPF based in Lagos over an alleged N9.7 billion loan issue.
The police said that as governor, Saraki obtained a loan from the defunct Intercontinental Bank Plc through a proxy company, Joy Petroleum, owned by his late aide, Matthew Obahor.
But Saraki had said he had no link to the said loan and that he had no relationship with the company, Joy Petroleum.
The SFU spokesperson, Joy Isinume, told a news website, Premium Times, that it would not hesitate to use maximum force to arrest Saraki.
More details later.
