However, Thisday reports that the former senate president had left the commission’s premises Saturday night and back home in Abuja.

Saraki reportedly said there was no big deal in honouring an invitation by EFCC, an institution of the state.

“They asked to see me and after attending a wedding reception, I drove there myself. And when they were satisfied, they said I could go. That’s it.”
