A source at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has linked former Governor Peter Odili of Rivers State and a once convicted top member of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bode George, with receiving N100 million each from the former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (ret.).


The EFCC source told SaharaReporters that the largess to the two PDP officials was diverted from funds meant for the purchase of arms in order to better equip the Nigerian military in its campaign against Islamist terror group, Boko Haram.

Instead, the N200 million paid to the two PDP stalwarts was designed to ensure the re-election of former President Goodluck Jonathan, who lost the presidential election held on March 28, 2015.

A panel appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari is currently investigating the reported theft of more than $2 billion from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in the name of purchasing arms. Mr. Dasuki, who was arrested yesterday, initially claimed he stole no funds, adding that Mr. Jonathan approved all his expenses related to arms deals. However, his position changed soon as he was confronted with the statement written by his former director of finance, Shuaibu Salisu who had squealed on all those involved in the scam to investigators.

Nigerian law enforcement agents have so far arrested twenty one persons in relation to the arms purchase scandal. Those under detention or arrest include former senior staff of the office of the National Security Adviser, a former state governor, Attahiru Bafarawa, and the owner of African Independent Television (AIT) network, Raymond Dokpesi. All the arrested suspected are being interrogated in connection with money laundering.

Yesterday, the former NSA, Mr. Dasuki, joined the other suspects at the offices of the EFCC. Agents of the Department of State Services (DSS) handed Mr. Dasuki over to EFCC operatives who have begun questioning him on how he allegedly diverted funds meant for arms purchase into Mr. Jonathan’s re-election campaign.

An EFCC investigator told SaharaReporters that some of the detained suspects were now providing useful information after almost all of them initially exhibited resistance.

AIT proprietor, Mr. Dokpesi, has openly asserted that he received funds from the NSA to run publicity for the Jonathan and PDP campaigns. An official of the EFCC told SaharaReporters that it was “unbelievable for the NSA [National Security Adviser] to be the person allocating money for political campaigns.”

Mr. Bafarawa, whose detention was approved by a court order, has stated that he received N4.6 billion from Mr. Dasuki for “spiritual purposes.” Our EFCC source said their agents were still questioning the former governor to explain what was meant by “spiritual purposes.”

Our source revealed that Mr. Odili and Mr. George “may soon be invited to explain why they received N100 million each from funds budgeted for arms purchase.”

Those still in EFCC detention as at last night are as follows: Shuaibu Salisu, Abba MT Usman, Sagir Attahiru, Evegny Kundaev, Aminu Baba Kusa, Salisu Usman Garu, Bashir Yuguda, Attahiru Bafarawa. Mr. Dokpesi was released last night after meeting bail conditions.

The case of Bode George is instructive, at a thanksgiving service held by him after his release from prison in 2011 in Lagos a Lagos priest delivering a sermon entitled, ‘A minister and a witness,’ Venerable Tayo Aduloju had this to say according to Punch newspaper: “If you are involved in any shady deal; if you are found anywhere elections are rigged; and partake in any form of manipulation, it means you have not learnt anything from your experience. Real power belongs to God. It does not belong to PDP. It does not belong to any president.

“As from today, you are expected to represent Christ. You are an ambassador of Christ. Never again will the name of God be soiled through you.”

Aduloju also charged politicians to shun thuggery, rigging and avarice so as to return the country on the path of decency.

He said, “Shun thuggery. Shun violence. Shun greed. Shun rigging and whatever that can cause trouble.”

Mr. George later denounced this priest at a press conference.

Too many junk news and propaganda in recent time.


APC, Party of professional liars and career fraudsters.

Sources here and there without any name mentioned, junks everywhere

Blood morning

enough of all these media trials.Take them to court or forever remain silent

Since it's coming from saharareporters, I believe. Will only wait for the EFCC, DSS and the Fg led by Buhari to do the needful cos at the end of the day, Bafarawa, Bode George and co might not be guilty in the eyes of the law cos they were legitimately given the money as party stalwarts to campaign for the party. The only people who are guilty are those that approved, diverted and disbursed our arms' money for campaigns and frivolities. But then again, the fg should find a tacit way outside of the law to punish the recipients of the said money cos I'm sure they are in the know on the source(s) of the fund(though they wil deny this and rightly so).

If you knew how things work, you would have known that the suspect is first made to make statement to the police/EFCC before he is then charged to courts.

I don't blame you guys. It's the wacky education provided by those who have stolen your wealth that is responsible for it.

These are the political boko haram.

Dear wailers wailing foolishly, this is the reason why your Hero should be Zerorized.
GEJ ran a government of Bazaar! The greatest tragedy in this whole scenario is GEJ claiming ignorance of this Bazaar.

Please Set Up Special Courts, All These Plastic Smiles They Put up After Leaving The Efcc Office Would Wear off At The Mentioning Of Special Courts. Military Era, No Nonesense Era. Buhari Would Wish...
No Lie Only Truth!

some people destiny is in Jail....

Stop embarrasing yourself dude!! There is no need granting bail to anyone who has already been indicted of graft to tune of N2.1Billion!!! The DSS are yet to find anything tangible to hold him on that's why they let him go!!

Olodo! That a committee indicts one does not give DSS or EFCC any right to hold on to the person indefinitely except by court order. After indictment by a properly constituted body, the next is to take them to court based on evidences gathered from investigations which muat have included statements from the accused.

Empty skull!

Stop exposing your ignorance!! No committee indicted Dokpesi!! He was not mentioned in the kangaroo Panel's report.

Olodo, if the committee indicts Dasuki and some others, and the president ordered the arrest of all involved in the scam, and Dasuki reveals Dokpesi as a beneficiary of the fund, has Dokpesi not been somehow indicted by the same committee then?

While trying to comprehend the logic above, kindly tell us names mentioned in the report?
