Bukola Saraki’s Cousin, Ex Kwara Commissioner, Moronfoye Re-arraigned For Money Laundering, Contract Scam—-The Ilorin Zonal Command of the EFCC, on Monday, November 22, 2021 re-arraigned the duo of Ope Saraki, a cousin to former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and a former Commissioner for Information in Kwara State, Olatunji Oyeyemi Moronfoye, on charges bordering on abuse of office, diversion of public funds and money laundering

The duo were re-arraigned on separate charges before Justice Muhammed Sani of the Federal High Court, Ilorin. The case, which first started on May 13, 2015 before Justice A. O. Faji of the Federal High Court, Ilorin has suffered series of setbacks occasioned by transfer of the trial judges.
