Following the report, an aide of Mr. Bankole’s told Saharareporters that the EFCC had finally summoned the former speaker to come to the agency’s headquarters tomorrow for interrogation. Meanwhile, sources at UBA and EFCC disclosed to the reporters that Mr. Bankole had used two account numbers for his massive money laundering schemes.
