$2.1 Bn Arms Deal: Jonathan’s Adc Adamant On N10bn Cash Disbursement by badohemmy(m): 8:44pm On Feb 21, 2016
Efforts by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) to extract information from Ojogbame Adegbe the
aide-de-camp to former President Goodluck Jonathan,
relating to the N10 billion allegedly moved from the Office
of the National Security Adviser for political purposes, may
have met a brickwall.
A source close to the investigation told Sunday Vanguard
that Adegbe, a colonel in the Nigerian Army, was not
opening up on the money or any other issue put to him by
EFCC operatives.
The source, who spoke in confidence, said that the former
President’s ADC was insisting that he did his job as a loyal
and professional military officer to Nigeria and the
Commander-in-Chief (C-i-C), and would therefore not
dabble into monetary issues.
The source said that even though his lawyer was brought
before the operatives for the former ADC to make his
statement, he insisted that he knew nothing about the
money but did the duties assigned to him by the Nigerian
Army and the C-i-C.
“The truth is that the EFCC has not been able to extract
anything tangible which they hoped to use as evidence in
relation to the ongoing investigation into the
disappearance of $2.1 arms cash from the Office of the
NSA, who is also standing trial,” the source said.
It was not clear, as at last night, if the EFCC would free
Adegbe to return to the United Kingdom (UK) to continue
his senior military training course, which he was
undergoing before he was summoned by the Nigerian Army
to report in Nigeria.
It was on his return to the country that he was questioned
by the army and referred to the EFCC to furnish them with
what he knows about the $47 million, which was allegedly
removed from the NSA account with the Central Bank of
Nigeria and changed into N10 billion and given to him and
the SA to the President on Domestic Matters,
Waripamowei Dudafa, to give to PDP delegates during the
primary that returned Jonathan as the PDP presidential
candidate for the 2015 elections.
The reference to the N10 billion was contained in a
statement of defence by the embattled NSA, Col. Sambo
Dasuki, and filed in court.
Dasuki said in the statement: “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.
“Based on the statement of the Director of Finance and
administration (Salisu), Ibrahim Wambai, and Yazidu
Ibrahim, all the cash (both foreign and local) are usually
given to them for official use.”
