FORMER National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki has made some “mind-boggling” revelations on the $2billion “phoney” arms contracts, a source said yesterday.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and a Federal Government committee are probing how huge sums of money meant for procurement of arms went down the drain during the Dr. Goodluck Jonathan administration.

An interim report indicates that about $2billion may have been disbursed for inexplicable reasons.

Dasuki was arrested on Tuesday by the Department of State Services (DSS). He was transferred to the EFCC.

[b]An EFCC source said: “When Dasuki was brought in, he initially refused to write any statement, alleging that he had been subjected to media trial.

“I think the ex-NSA decided not to open up based on the advice of his lawyers that he should leave everything for the open court.

“The EFCC operatives, however, obliged Dasuki a copy of the statement by a former Director of Finance in the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Shaibu Salisu in which the latter made some implicating statements.

“Dasuki, who was shocked by Salisu’s confessions, repeatedly asked: ‘You mean Salisu wrote all these! You mean he said these! Give me a pen and paper’.

“Thereafter, Dasuki decided to open a can of worms. He gave a long list of PDP chieftains who collected money from the Office of the NSA.

“He mentioned the names of a former Deputy National Chairman of PDP, ex-governors and ex-ministers and many others.

“As I am talking to you, Dasuki is still writing his statement. The disclosures of the ex-Director of Finance in ONSA have assisted greatly in getting to the bottom of the armsgate.

“So, the investigation is still on. We will certainly arrest more suspects soon.”[/b]

There were indications that the anti-graft commission may extend its probe to the seizure of $9million cash by South Africa and quiz all those involved in the botched deal.

An Israeli suspect implicated in the deal is said to have bolted after throwing a lavish party at his Wuse residence.

Former Sokoto State Governor Attahiru Bafarawa, AIT Chairman Raymond Dokpesi and former Minister Bashir Yuguda were yesterday battling for bail.

It was learnt that the EFCC was planning to arraign some of the suspects in court to enable the agency keep the more than 22 suspects being interrogated in custody.

The EFCC is said to be mindful of a situation in which the high-profile suspects will rush to court to seek the enforcement of their fundamental rights and truncate the investigation.

A source, who pleaded not to be named, said many suspects had admitted collecting huge sums of money from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) when Dasuki was in charge.

Said the source: “Our investigators have isolated these areas of probe: Were the funds budgeted for? If not, what informed extra-budgetary expenses? How much was actually voted for arms procurement? How were the funds sourced? Who or which agency awarded all the contracts? Who were the contractors? Was there any evidence of delivery of equipment? What will make any Minister to run to ONSA for funds?

“These are the areas our detectives have been mandated to look at.”

On other suspects, the source explained that some of the diverted funds had been traced to a bureau de change owned by a former member of the staff of the ONSA.

“Some Bureau de Change operators were accomplices of many of these suspects in custody. We are tracking every transaction.

“On daily basis, we will keep on inviting more suspects because the syndicate has a complex networking,” the source added.

As at press time last night, Bafarawa, Dokpesi and Yuguda were still battling for bail.

A source said: “We have not released any of them because they are clearing some grey areas.”

Another source in EFCC said the agency would extend its probe to the seizure of the $9.34m cash smuggled into South Africa.

The cash was confiscated by the South Africa from an Israeli arms dealer of Cyprus-based ESD International, who acted on behalf of the Federal Government to procure arms for Nigeria.

Part of the cash was for six “civilian” helicopters from a South African company, Tier One.

The National Prosecuting Authority of South Africa recently received a court permission to return the cash to Nigeria.

I don't have time for a miscreant like you.

The Only thing that pains my heart now is that of the useless Igbo's youth who are shouting for Biafra when Nigeria is on it's way to the best since democracy period...

Although, Biafra is already an existing republic in DREAM CONTINENT.. But the only thing that am sorry for are those youth who are wasting their life, those who have suffered in the past but prefers not to enjoy the betterment of Nigeria which is on the way.. I feel sorry for them cause their Place is already booked in HELL...

I knew that Nigeria will be Great under buhari... By the time that all the bad eggs are removed from our government, you will surely confirm that the problem of Nigeria is Leadership..

When this investigation goes on,, those who are sponsoring boko haram before they joined ISIS will be reveal... A lot of money which is not for arms deal that has been embezzled will be recovered...

At last,, OUR PRISON WILL BE FULL OF HIGH PROFILE POLITICIAN including NNAMDI KALU and his touts.....

LONG LIVE NIGERIA

Go & Die

Now we have a president.

I told a wailer around June that when all this shit hits the roof, even that her uncle that sends her school fees won't be spared. She got angry and apologetic at the same time.



Now we have a government and security outfit that is moving Nigeria towards having little or no respect for high profile individuals.



Its getting real. Oritsejafor should start preparing how to lie without lie detector busting his lies. **Private jet things**

Buhari must go after all these criminals. They created Boko Haram to feed on defense spending. Dasuki, Ayim, Bafarawa, Gej and others must be dealt with.

Sai Buhari

madridguy:
Now we have a president.

Yes we do. Slow and steady, we are getting there.

This is what I am.... A wailer.... Dasuki is still writing reports at the time of filling the news ba? So you quickly copied the one he wrote and posted ba.. Ok OP, the thunder that will fire u, is still doing press up

The sickening part is how some people will still come out and defend these people despite all the allegations against them. Makes me feel like most Nigerians are not really ready for the fight against corruption.

Investigation is on going more head will role

Namadi Sambo be like "these guys are talking already?"

Very soon we will separate wheat from the shaft



Oritsejafor will be shitting his pants now

It's gonna be a FIRE HOT CHRISTMAS!

Lol. Funny story... as we are filling this report, he is still writing his confessions..

Well, I want all of them arrested and jailed if indeed names have been mentioned.. But this is APC, that's how they lied to us that US gave them a list of thieves that stole our money with evidences.. Till today, list we no see, stolen money we no see.. They just made that story up to justify the wasteful visit to USA. Let's hope this isn't another cover up story in the name of creating impression that they are fighting corruption..
We are still waiting on updates on Dezani story oo.. Though they said probe would start soon.
