I Was Acting On Jonathan’s Action Says Dasuki by yashedabai(m): 9:18am On Dec 14, 2015
Former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki has said he handed over the N10billion given to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nomination convention delegates to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs,
Waripamowei Dudafa and the Aide-de-Camp.

He said the money was given out by the two aides, on the directive of Dr.Jonathan.

The former NSA said aside collecting
the cash, he had nothing to do with it. As at press time, no slush funds had
been traced to Dasuki’s personal accounts, it was learnt. Dasuki, who protested that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had subjected him to “media trial”, said such a treatment might jeopardise his defence.

Also yesterday, it was gathered that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) confirmed that the N10 billion was sourced from the Signature Bonus Account (oil block Account).

But the ex-NSA expressed regrets that
he was being vilified by the EFCC when he acted on the instructions and approval of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. He said he had no foreign account and his local accounts are in Skye bank Plc, GTB and Standard Chartered Bank.

Dasuki’s Statement of Witness/Accused Person has been filed in the
High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) ahead of his arraignment today or tomorrow.

He said: “I wish to state as follows:
That I have been publicly indicted and any statement may jeopardise my defence. Having been briefed by the EFCC investigators on why I was invited, I will answer the charges in court. As such, I do not wish to make any further statement on the matter.

“That I am aware in November (I cannot remember the exact date), my office requested the CBN to exchange N10billion from the account of the Office of National Security Adviser domiciled in CBN. The money was exchanged at $47m and some Euros which I cannot remember. The exact amount was delivered at my residence.

“The money was for delegates that attended the nomination convention for the PDP. Presidential nomination.
The money was paid and sent to Hon.
(Waripamowei) Dudafa (SSAP Household) and ADC(C-IC) for distribution on the instruction of the
President.
