Ibrahim Idris Wambai, the former Accounts Officer II, has revealed that that the Office of Nigeria’s former Vice President Namadi Sambo was on a monthly stipend of N20million from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) led by former NSA, Sambo Dasuki.

He pointed out that some presidential aides also benefitted from slush funds from the ONSA, singling out five firms which were used as platforms by some people to receive funds from the office.

Many prominent Nigerians and leaders similarly drew huge funds from the office.
..
Records of all cash payments to such individuals and organisations are still intact, he said in a Statement of Witness/Accused Person which was filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory and obtained by The Nations newspaper.

The certified statement on oath is part of the Proof of Evidence for the trial of nine suspects next week.

He said: “In December 2014, I took cash of N4million to Col. Madaki(rtd) in his residence in Wuse II Abuja. I had made many cash payments to Doyin Okupe, Ahmad Idris (PA to ex-NSA), ADC to former First Lady Patience Jonathan as payments for monthly operation allowances.

“The documents showing evidence of the payments are in the office of Yazidu Ibrahim in cash payment files. The exact amounts paid and date of payments I cannot remember but are available in the files.

“The venue for the collection of the money was my office and the money was given to me from the cash in the strong room

“So many cash payments were made on a monthly basis to the following beneficiaries: Office of the former Vice President, Arc. Namadi Sambo (N20,000,000). The money was being collected by former Deputy Chief of Staff; ADC to former President (amount not known but in cash payment files; Chief Personal physician to former President Goodluck Jonathan; former coordinator on anti-terrorism, Gen. Sarkin Yaki; former Director PC4, Gen. Terba Waya (rtd); Personal Assistant, Domestic Affairs to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.

“The amounts and frequency of payments to the beneficiaries as well as the list of other beneficiaries are in the cash payment files

“I also witnessed several payments in cash to various people. Prominent was about payment of N300million to former Chairman on Security and Intelligence, Dr. Bello Matawalle from the cash in the strong room.

“To get details of cash payments in Naira and individuals and organizations summary and vouchers from January 2011 to July 2015, the documents are kept in Yazidu Ibrahim’s former office. These should be collected from the Director of Finance and Administration, Col. Jafaru Mohammed. I and Yazidu Ibrahim can supply the files and the summary.”
He named five firms allegedly used for curious transfers from the ONSA.

His words: “The amounts of the five companies are ACACIA Holdings Limited (N600,000,000) via account no. 1017330319 with UBA and N650million via account no. 0122012650 with ECOBANK Nigeria Limited; Reliance Referral Hospital Limited (N750m) via account no.2022394057 with First Bank Nigeria Plc; Jabbama Global Nigeria Limited(N400m) via account no. 1013898095 with Zenith Bank; Continental Development etc.”
Meanwhile, ex-Minister of State for Finance, ex-Governor Attahiru Bafarawa and his son, Sagir Attahiru and Dalhatu Investment Limited may have to account for over N18.09billion when their trial begins next week.
Part of the cash was for PDP’s ‘Operation Capture North West’.

The cumulative cash does not include the $9.809m allegedly collected by ex-Minister of State Yuguda from ONSA between December 23, 2014 and February 10, 2015.

Ghen ghen...

What is all this for God sake

Awon odaju buruku

Awon ole, odaju buruku

Last Days generosity

These revelations are really becoming weird and incredible. So, ONSA operates a strong room full of cash when it is not a bank. What happened to the federal government's e-payment policy? No government agency is supposed to make any cash payment with the introduction of GIFMIS and e-payment. Apart from corruption and money laundry charges, all those involved should also be tried for gross violation of federal governments financial regulations.

Atleast we all know GEJ operated the most corrupted government in Nigeria history

GEJ

Dasuki: PDP's ATM. Even Sambo got paid to remain a ghost worker.

Meanwhile, ex-Minister of State for Finance,
ex-Governor Attahiru Bafarawa and his son,
Sagir Attahiru and Dalhatu Investment Limited
may have to account for over N18.09billion
when their trial begins next week.
Part of the cash was for PDP’s ‘Operation
Capture North West’.

Thank God for APC, Buhari and everyone who worked for change. We would've woken up one morning, switch on our radio sets and hear that Nigeria has been sold out to Angola... Anyone who'll call Jonathan his hero again ehn,..... His ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian but it's worth every kobo of our commonwealth. Kai Jonathan

Dasuki and co. deserve death by firing squad, stealing billions of money that would've otherwise been used to save life of tens of thousands Nigerians from the menace of BH. Also it would be sacrilege to exonerate Jona from all these.

GEJ government will probably go down as one of the worst when it comes to corruption in Nigeria. This is becoming a joke and national calamity for this kind of corruption going on unchecked. I hope Nigeria can recover. There is no amount of greed that warrants turning the national treasury to a personal piggy bank. I wish the youths will rise up to deliver a strong opposition to all this worthless Neanderthals destroying their future.

Sambo Dasuki was indeed the ATM!

Web of scandal

Some of these stories are so weird and sound incredible that I don't want to believe it's true. NSA simply added 'department of finance' to its portfolio?!

When we start seeing convictions of big wigs, I'll be a believer.

next year is going to be a year of jail for looters

I cant wait to see this news on front page. anyway its no longer a news am waiting for where another revelation will come that the ex president domestic staff also got their own share. the thunder way go fire this people still they do press up. I guess the best punishment this people deserve is death by stoning but only on one condition after refunding our money. then carry then round Nigerian put money for their mouth they sing ole before taking them to national stadium for stoning.

My greatest surprise is all these Northern bigwigs who involved themselves in the 'destruction' of their region. How on earth can these beasts now be entrusted with the lives of other Nigerians? Can we see the reasons why some Nigerians want to pull out of the this country? The black man is black to the heart!

What If JEG had won Nigeria is rising, again!

Nonsense... Am I the only who's beginning to get tired of all this trial against GEJ'S administration?? The present administration should stop attempting to distract the masses from our current economic woes. It's not like they are even better. PRESIDENT BUHARI, IT'S HIGH TIME YOU STARTED EXECUTING YOUR CHANGE AGENDA AMD STOPPED ALL THESE DISTRACTIONS...

I am Begining to think Dasuki was the minister of Finance and Ngozi the minister of state. For finance.

This same Line of diversion of attention is becoming lame please! Bubu and his team of Liars should diversify in their Lying job.ndi ara

Wonderful change. What a change?!. "Our commonwealth " lol. Some people are funny

Put politicians on minimum wage and see how things change fast.

If for only this reason Buhari won, I'm satisfied.

This whole exercise is becoming tiring to be honest. If they want to do a thorough job, why not compare these spending against preceding governments.

Don't get me wrong, I am not holding forte for GEJ's administration, neither do I support needless waste of public funds Cum trust. But the fact remains that our past leaders have been nothing but some bunch of visionless and heartless looters.

This present exercise if pursued, will consume a lot of the present actors.

Imagine a ghost VP also collecting 20m monthly, soon Jonathan's part of the deal would be revealed. Now I know why sambo uploaded a photoshopped picture of a curved leg telling us he went for knee surgery. He should come back and clear his name asap. Criminals

Have anyone been wondering why the Former NSA having been speaking about this whole issue since his detention?

Obviously you are the only one. And truth be told, it's not important to post since you have nothing meaningful to dish out. Perhaps you would have been so deep in this if you had a soldier as a relative. For crying out loud, we're talking about the single-handed råpe of a country by some so-called bigwigs cum miscreants who have shared the Nations' money like some sports bet winnings.

The evidences are stronger than it was and the ground seems to be crumbling from being a well to a lake. For all it's worth, I'm beginning to see reasons PEJ was worried about her husband languishing in jail. Olisa Metuh has since kept shut because he understands that this is not just a propaganda. NOI who used to run her mouth anyhow has played the role of Pontius Pilate; GEJ is mute and has been roped in already as by NOI.

In the words of the president; "Don't fear me, fear the consequences of your actions."

Sometimes I wonder how people reason, when the case started you all screamed witch hunting and propaganda. Dokpesi was said to have received 2.1B people like you said it was a lie, but fortunately the man showed us he lacked the lying part of politics and shot himself, I could remember someone collecting 4B or thereabout and he told the whole nation its for spiritual purpose. Incase you don't know this $6B shared among those criminals were used judiciously do you think we would still hear anything like boko haram or do you think if that money was shared among 180Million Nigerians it won't go round Mind you this is only arms deal, there are more to be revealed by Dasuki and when the torchlight finally face NNPC you will know Nigeria is finished
