The government of South Africa has reportedly
returned $15 million to the Nigerian
government.

The South African border authorities had on
September 5, 2014 seized $9.3 million meant for
the procurement of arms for the Nigerian
military, from two Nigerians and an Israeli who
arrived the country in a private jet.

Custom officers discovered the money stashed
in three suitcases after the suitcases were put
through airport scanners.

The money was concealed in two black plastic
suitcases, filled with 90 blocks each containing
US$100,000 in notes.

The NPA said it found with the suspects, an
invoice for a helicopter and armaments meant
for Nigeria.

While the furore created by the cash seizure
was yet to settle, South African authorities again
seized another $5.7 million transferred by
Societe D’Equipments Internationale of Nigeria,
to South African arms company, Cerberus Risk
Solutions, for the procurement of arms.

Although the Nigerian government through the
office of the then National Security Adviser,
Sambo Dasuki, admitted that the money
belonged to the Nigerian government, the
South African government said it would not
release the funds until after “due process” was
followed.

The South African High Commissioner to
Nigeria, Lulu Mnguni, had said although his
country had no intention of keeping the seized
funds, it would only release it to Nigeria after
due process had been followed.

On Friday, PR Nigeria, the consulting firm
issuing statements on behalf of Nigerian
security agencies said the money has finally
been released.

It said the money was released as a result of
some legal and diplomatic processes initiated by
the former NSA which “ensured that cash seized
by the South African government during the
cash for arms saga last year have been fully
recovered by Nigeria”.

PR Nigeria also added that “President Goodluck
Jonathan’s administration was forced to resort
to the alternative market to obtain arms when
western powers blocked every access to the
formal arms market but the cash were seized
both at the airport and in the bank”.

Meanwhile PR Nigeria confirmed the release of
Mr. Sambo by the SSS after more than 24 hours
siege of his home.
It also said Mr. Sambo was released only after
the SSS seized his international passports and
other vital documents.

“Even though there is no more restriction of his
movement, Dasuki still feels aggrieved that he
was deprived of performing his religious
obligation of attending the Eid Prayers, making
the end of Ramadan fasting.

“Dasuki has vowed to challenge the action by
seeking legal redress in order to enforce his
fundamental human rights,” the release said
