After accusations from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the former governor of Kwara state was charged to court in 2015 with 13 counts of false declarations of assets when he was governor.

In defiance, the Senate President filed the no-case submission before the tribunal on May 26, 2017 saying all evidence presented by the prosecution lacks merit.

Saraki was governor of Kwara state for two terms between 2003 and 2011 and before he was elected into the Senate, and later became President in 2015.
