Jonathan Meets Security Chiefs Over Seized $9.3 Million by OKDnigeria: 10:36pm On Sep 17, 2014 |
President Goodluck Jonathan met yesterday with some security chiefs over the $9.3m arms deal that went away in South Africa, a source said. Jonathan reportedly demanded “full briefing” on how South African security agents impounded the cash from two Nigerian and an Israeli in Pretoria after it was flown in by a private jet. The Nigerians and the Israeli were said to have told security agents that the money was meant for some arms purchase. Security chiefs, it was learnt, defended the arms deal as “legitimate”. Also yesterday, the Federal Government and South African authorities appeared to have struck some understanding on the matter. Based on diplomatic understanding, the aircraft, a Challenger, and the crew have been released. But a top intelligence official yesterday claimed that the transaction was “legitimate” and the facts had been made available to the South African government. He said the arms order was based on “urgent security” concerns in Nigeria. Investigation by our correspondent revealed that South Africa raised the alarm because of alleged abuse of protocol. A highly-placed source said: “For more than five hours, the President met with some intelligence and security chiefs on the arms deal. “The security chiefs took time to explain that urgent security issues warranted the direct purchase of the arms. “The President opted for full briefing to avoid any backlash on his administration. It will also assist the government to come up with a clear position to the public. Now that the Presidency has the details, it is left to the government to clarify things. “When the government speaks, you will get the details of what transpired on the $9.3million arms deal.” news2.onlinenigeria.com/news/377923-jonathan-meets-security-chiefs-over-seized-9-3m.html http://thenationonlineng.net/new/jonathan-meets-security-chiefs-over-seized-9-3m/ 3 Likes |

There are laws that guide the movement of cash if the money wasn't being smuggled why was it not declared......? there are laws that guide arms purchases.... if it wasn't illegal why was it not followed? 65 Likes 1 Share |

MeAboki: Buying time to manufacture lies to tell Nigerians. Because they are mainly made up of African "bushmen". If youre ever opportune to be in their presence you will cringe from their crassness. Most of them are barely past stark illiteracy. In fact, most of them are complete and total illiterates who just know how to out hustle the State. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Cock and bull story [size=15pt] LIARS! Thunder fire them for trying to mislead/divert our attetion, we are not foolish like them [/size] Let then answer the following questions. The above position of the Federal Government is not only ludicrous, it is laughable, untenable and a story only fit to be told to the marines. The following rhetoric posers are germane to this issue: [b] Is it really faster and safer to do an international transaction of such magnitude by ferrying cash across the continent or by a simple wire transfer that can go through in a matter of few minutes or few hours? If, indeed, the matter involves security issues like the purchase of arms by a foreign government like Nigeria, why was the South African Government not brought into the picture beforehand? How could the South African Government be sure that the arms were purchased legitimately by the Nigerian government and not by insurgents if they were not officially informed beforehand? If indeed the manufacturer(s) of such equipment was/were expecting such large amount by cash, why did they not make adequate arrangements with the authorities in South Africa to declare and clearvthe cash on arrival? Why was money belonging to the Federal Government and meant for purchase of equipment for the Federal Government moved by a private jet and by private individuals and why were they not accompanied by the officials of the Department of State Services or the office of the National Security Adviser in official capacities? Why would a government that is at the peak of promoting the cashless policy in our economy be the chief breaker of that policy by moving such a large amount by cash? If, indeed, it was a legitimate transaction of the Federal Government, why were the officials of our embassy in South Africa not on hand to make the entry easier and smoother?

Now,Security Chiefs are saying its legitimate ; we are not being told if its for the reinforcement of the Nigerian Army? And if it were to be,such a sum of money would be dispensed without the knowledge of the GCFR? Even if it were to be, couldn't the money have been wire transferred?

I don't understand, security chiefs were the one that want to buy the arms or what ? And if they were the one why didn't they accompany the jet to south africa and why carrying that huge amount to south africa without allowing the south authorities to know about it... All I smell here is LIES or probably cover up 9 Likes 1 Share |

banki: Bros na guys like you we need in government the issues you raised in just two paragraphs speaks a lot of volumes. Again people who say they support their government (even blindly) should be responsible enough to question their motives or methods. That's what we do in democracy when we hold our leaders (public servants) accountable. Again that famous book by George Orwell 'Animal Farm' comes to mind. 23 Likes |
