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. 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.” 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.

Let the guilty be brought to JUSTICE.

Even though I dislike APC, I reckon with and support the fight against corruption as long as JUSTICE is not administered one-sided

Pastor Bling Bling whose plane was used to ferry that $9m dollars will soon have his own explanation to do..

The church of the Lord is under the siege cos of people like him who after preaching mostly only about prosperity & not about salvation & still be "yoked" with unbelievers.....

Dokpesi will explain if office of the NSA is the financier of PDP campaign.

And many ediots wanted that regime to continue! May God forgive your consciences! That's if you have one

Fayose comes to mind

Thank God I voted out the impunity party...

Now stealing is corruption, all the die hard thieves under past administration must pay.

Although I understand that the corruption fight is one sided, it is still a good step if we start catching one or 2 people out of 'political security' and bring them to book. Who knows, the next dispensation might go after the thieving thieves who are presently favoured and lodged in buhari's cabinet now...

For now...
SAI BABA

Dieziani be like "these guys are talking already"

Very soon we will separate wheat from the shaft


We all must stand up against corruption
We all must support the fight against corruption

When corruption was the order of the day, they were comfortably waxing and glaring as they flourished without complaint.
Now that the scene is positively changed, they are wailing and hating their perceived enemies.


Na GOD catch una

This is where I stopped. The Nation newspapers should not heatup the polity, by basing their stories on a supposed and unverifiable source

We are getting there..

Going by the recent antecedents of APC/ President Buhari one cannot believe them anymore until one can touch their words.

QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD LEAD TO PRISON
Dr Raymond Dokpesi has confessed that he received N2 billion from Col Sambo Dasuki's office. He said it was for campaign publicity for the Jonathan/Sambo Campaign. This leads to questions like: was the Office of the National Security Adviser an extension of Wadata Plaza? What bearing did PDP campaign have with National Security? What sort of publicity are u doing that u spend Two Billions on?
My take is that Jonathan himself cannot escape this. Reason is he was the candidate that would benefit from this spending. The Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) put the total amount that a Presidential Candidate could spend at N1billion only. How come Jonathan spent 2 billion on publicity alone and nobody has questioned this infringement?

You don't need an oracle to tell you that PDP is the one behind this deal.
I never regret being one of those that sent them out of the federal sit.
They would have wrecked the entire country by now.

They should deal with Dasuki very well and get all other people involved arrested as well.
GEJ watch your back.
