A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, and President Muhammadu Buhari close friend, Brig.Gen. Jafaru Isa (retd.), has returned N170m he recieved from the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.). to the Federal Government.

Isa, who is a former military governor of Kaduna State, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in January for allegedly receiving the money but was released after returning N100m to the commission with a promise to pay the balance of N70m.
The retired general, who was a member of Buhari’s 19-man transition committee, was arrested around the same time the then National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olisa Metuh, was detained for allegedly receiving N400m from Dasuki.

However, while Jafaru was released after five days in detention, Metuh spent about three weeks in the custody of the commission, causing the PDP to accuse the anti-graft agency of being partial.

In his reaction to the PDP’s accusation, the acting EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, had said, “From the records, Metuh got over N400m. He has not said anything because we need the public money to be returned so that it’s going to be used for public good.

“Also Jafaru Isa, what Dasuki gave him was N170m. He also agreed that he collected that money. He was with us for four to five days and then he made a deposit of N100m and signed an undertaking to bring the rest. That does not mean we will not prosecute him.”

It, however, remained unclear if the EFCC will still prosecute Isa, who is believed to have health challenges.

The former military governor launched a failed bid to become the governor of Bauchi State in 2011 on the platform of the Congress for Progressives Change.

Monalisa185:
without a jail term? Or is he in custody already?

There was indeed a country.

You said you have been collecting back looted money, but we still go out to borrow, and our economy is nothing to write home about.

People are starving due to excessive hunger, pensioners who have worked tirelessly are being owe, even the workers are crying of non payment.

Collect these money and start using them to make good policies that would benefits the people.

Good news.
Igbos and wailers:the president gave it to him to return

Zombie news before xmas

Good action from one who is penitent.

Jafaru Isa never argued he was somehow deserving of the money.
He never beat his arrogant chest daring the government to take him to court if they had a case against him.
He cooperated from day1 and availed himself of Buhari's stated waiver of recouping stolen funds and not caring about prosecution of those who would voluntarily cooperate to return said funds.

Olisa Metuh being a cunning and unrepentant political criminal in the mould the Nigerian law school churns out yearly, called for a press conference to declare he did special assignment for the regime of Jonathan. Nobody had openly stated he was being investigated on any matter, but a cunning thief never steals and run away, rather he keeps his ears close to the ground to learn about any investigation into the matter.
So Metuh became privy to the investigation of his crime and shouted his innocence from the rooftops under the umbrella of political misfortune, as he heard police siren blaring from 14 streets away - the hallmark reaction of a guilty conscience.

Metuh was soon arrested. He was prevailed upon to return the monies obtained from the ONSA, but arrogantly declined. He boldly dared the prosecution to charge him to court that as a man who worked hard for his riches, he had no free money to give any begging government. Later he made a statement only to chew up the paper like a hungry goat trying to destroy evidence that could destroy his presidential benefactor.

The uncooperative Metuh was finally charged and appeared in court in handcuffs and his emotional village people ranted that instead he should have been afforded a red carpet entrance with free hands waving to mentally teenage fans. A royal treatment that a former governor of Kogi or Police IG from Osun were not afforded.

From gimmick to gimmick, the previously court eager Metuh employed all sorts of delay tactics. Most notable of all was feigning sickness with a need to travel abroad, and claiming familiarity with the Judge because they graduated in the same set of law school. The same Judge Metuh would not deign to acknowledge when he was in the corridor of power collecting illegal funds from offices he should not have access to.

When he was finally broken with all the evidence tabled against him, the now weakened Metuh has become the one begging government to accept his offer to now return the N400m.

He arrogantly beat his chest only to humble himself like Isa Jafaru, but not before wasting money on fellow criminal lawyers, and a bad publicity, and a decline of his health. All for the love of dirty money, the lure of filthy lucre, Olisah Metuh trapped himself in court prosecution, while Isa Jafaru, a Muslim, is celebrating Christmas like the Pope.

If only this is true.

noe

Correlation between Dasuki and an APC chieftain.... ? I'm missing something here

When Buhari said he won't name those who were returning funds , Some ediots were shouting cover up

Now that someone of Northern Origin who worked with Buhari is named, You are here castigating him


Isa returned what he got immediately , i still have news headlines from Metuah's Lawyer saying Metuah can't raise 400M


Why would they release him if he hasn't returned money or bailed himself ??

these yeye pipu sef

This is a sensible comment

I am sure PEJ's arrest will lead to something like this too , so far 1tr has been traced to her fidelity , $175M in Skye , and she like the other fools have sued EFCC instead of Cooperating silently , Metuah sued EFCC and became a media wailer, Obanikoro sued EFCC , but he came home silently to be detained, FFK was making mouth as well , what happened to him ? some people will turn the bible if it suits their purpose

abeg Who dey collect the Dasukigate money? i want return my own

dasuki is generous.he gave friends and enemjy

wunmi590:
What kind of heading is this? :-

The heading said he has refund 170million, while the content stated only 100million was refunded and the remaining would be sent later.

Is not even about the refund, it about how these money being collected have being managed.

We want the anti-graft agency to come out clean with the federal government.

You said you have been collecting back looted money, but we still go out to borrow, and our economy is nothing to write home about.

People are starving due to excessive hunger, pensioners who have worked tirelessly are being owe, even the workers are crying of non payment.

You must have failed English language (Waec) in your first seating. Go back and read the news again. You may get it right after.

Very stupid argument. If a man returned stolen money does that insulate him from prosecution? Selective anti-corruption war abi na fight sef? Second base jare

show me your friend....,.
