vehiclescandal

Lanre Shittu, a car dealer, has absolved President Bukola Saraki of any culpability in the issue of the 300 million Range Rover imported with fake documents. Shittu made his appearance before the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges could investigate the scandal. Mr. Shittu said he was approached by Wale Tinubu, the Oando boss, in October 2016 for the consigning the car to his company. He said his company had no deal with Mr. Saraki but the Senate adding that he bided and supplied the vehicle. The Chairman of the Senate Committee on House Service, Mr. Gobir, told the investigative committee that the Senate bought vehicles from dealers, and dealers from importers, he said the Senate President had nothing to do with the car or the fake documents. Although Mr. Saraki may not have personally imported the vehicle, a National Assembly, Lagos liaison office document suggests it was procured as an official car of the senate president.
