EFCC Arrests Attahiru Bafarawa Over Arms Purchase Deal by wachakuta(m): 4:33pm On Dec 01, 2015
The EFCC today nabbed former Sokoto Governor Attahiru Bafarawa after he lost his hide-and-seek game with the agency over allegations that he was used by former President Goodluck Jonathan and former National Security Adviser Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) to launder over N4.1billion in federal funds meant for the purchase of arms to fight Boko Haram. Attahiru Bafarawa Premium Times

Bafarawa’s son was picked up yesterday, and analysts speculate that he may have revealed his father's location to the EFCC. 

The former governor was subsequently arrested this morning and is now being interrogated by EFCC investigators in Abuja.

This arms scandal is netting some medium sized fishes so far...Dokpesi, Bafarawa, Dasuki.

We are waiting patiently for the BIG FISHES like the ex-Service Chiefs, Obanikoro's and Ebele Jonathan's role in the scam.

Already GEJ and Dasuki are contradicting themselves on whether approval was given for the $2.1B or not.

No wonder the man insisted he wanted a public trial instead of going down alone. E don set.

Just the arresting of those high-profile individuals is a good thing - it shows nobody is above the law.

If the arms-for-cash scandal can be successful prosecuted in the law courts without any prejudice, then everybody will sit tight and understand that 'stealing is corruption'.

...especially as it was an ex-budgetary disbursement, supposedly to defend helpless Nigerians.

Let us hear how the commander-in-chief was not in charge of his armed forces.

My brother, GEJ shot himself in the foot by denying that disbursement so early. It is now the word of several intelligent, desperate and experienced looters against his feeble own.

At this rate, Jonathans own men will be the ones to throw him under the bus, to save their own skin.

How did we get this lucky?

heads will continue to roll. How wicked and heartless some people can be kinda send spins into my belly. Monies that are supposed to be used in purchasing arms to fight boko haram, but some wicked people siphoned the monies for their selfish aggrandizement, spending the money on their numerous girlfriends, buying cars they don't need and building houses with the arms deal.

Anybody that has stolen from our treasury will never see peace. Amen

Very wicked people.......

Don't be an ediot.

All the arms bought are being handed to boko haram.

Buhari is using this facade to both hurt down his enemies and at the same time weaken the army.

Buhari is very much afraid of a strong army and ge is also pushing for paid amnesty for Boko haram.

All these nonsense probes are mere distractions away from his failed presidency.

Some people were seriously feeding fat on the misfortune, death and blood of our military men all in the name of arms purchase.
How do you expect these people to pray for the end of the insurgency.
In the end, it's either Jonathan was completely useless and a sorry excuse of a President or he was neck-deep into this arms purchase scam.
In the coming day, all those ex-service chiefs should be picked up.

Whatever the case, I wish and pray the moneys stolen can be recovered and I wish those found guilty would be locked up for life. The greed of these guys has led to the sad loss of hundreds (if not thousands) of our military men, thousands of innocent civilians and trillions in destroyed properties.

For all those defending these guys (because their little brains erroneously thinks they are defending GEJ), may God judge you guys accordingly.
