[size=18pt]The Reason Why Gen. Azazi Was Killed? - Politics - Nairaland
https://www.nairaland.com/1348801/reason-why-gen-azazi-killed[/size]

Lt. Col. David Ahangba, a former special assistant to late National Security Adviser General Owoye Azazi, has been courtmartialed for illegally receiving the sum of N150million from the Bayelsa State government. He is telling the court it belonged to his former boss, who was killed in an air crash last year.
Ahangba faces four counts of receiving the money after he suggested a project to officials of Bayelsa State Government, the money for which would be used to induce General Azazi to assist Timipriye Sylva’s second term bid as governor.
The court martial is being presided over by Brig. Gen. EO Nze (N/7920). Members are: Col PS Obaje (N/9383); Col. AOI Kalejaiye (N/9422); Col. GA Nosike (N/9629); and Col. MB Akilu (N/9647). The Judge Advocate is Capt. CW Okonkwo (N/12289) while the Waiting Member is Col. CA Thomas (N/9616).
Ahangba joined General Azazi’s staff when the latter became Army Chief of Staff in 2006, at the General’s request, and was assigned to engineering services, principally construction and maintenance of Azazi’s properties in Bayelsa, Abuja, Lagos, supervision of other projects, and liaison with dignitaries. He also liaised with the Joint Task Force headquarters to secure helicopters to fly the late General and to arrange hotel accommodation.
According to Ahangba, it was in that connection that during preparations for the wedding of General Azazi’s son in September 2011, he was instructed by his boss to act as a liaison to Governor Sylva. In a subsequent meeting in Bayelsa, the governor spoke of his political travails and discussed his desire to meet with the General to discuss a way out.
Following that meeting, General Azazi told Ahangba to stand by as someone would bring the sum of N150m, about which he would receive further directives. When the funds were brought by an unknown person the following day, there were deposited in a First Bank Account of Roberta Nig. Ltd, which had been opened at the instructions of General Azazi.
Our source said, “Prior to the opening of the account, monies given to Lt. Col. Ahangba by the late General for projects or deposits were deposited in the Colonel’s salary account but due to the fact that the amounts were huge sum of money and for security purposes (to protect the Colonel from questions by operatives which could link the late General), the General directed that the company account be opened. He further directed that the Colonel open a domiciliary account. These accounts were basically operated for the purpose stated above. It is to be noted that the company account was opened without the coordination/direction of the Colonel as staff of First Bank merely collected his details and specimen of his signature and the opening was in his absence. During cross-examination, it was revealed that the Colonel had no option to the opening of the account as he acted on the instruction of the General.”
The source further disclosed that while in Lagos, the sum of N68million was received on the Lt. Colonel’s behalf. Following General Azazi’s instructions, three further Union Bank account numbers were forwarded for the money to be lodged in. The late General further informed him that the total sum of N83million was forwarded to him as against the N150 million because N67million was forwarded to one of his engineers for investment in his estates in Abuja. The total sum of money received by the Colonel was released from the accounts as directed by the late General.
Just three months after the money was first received, that is, in December 2011), Ahangba was discreetly informed by the General that “very serious” trouble relating to the late General’s career and personality was brewing and needed to be tactically checked, and that Ahangba was the only person who could bail him out.
The general then revealed to the Colonel that the deal with the Bayelsa governor had leaked to the presidency and the General was accused of working with the opposition and had collected money from them. It would be recalled that Governor Sylva was locked in a battle for the governorship with President Jonathan who reportedly wanted him out.
“The late General informed the Colonel of the blue print on how to resolve the trouble, which involved the Colonel making a written statement in the house of the late General and under his directions. The statement was collected by the General and taken to Abuja to be submitted as an official report of the conduct of Lt. Col. Ahangba. He was assured that the was required to give the statement a face lift and to further buttress this point, he called officials of Bayelsa State and directed them to prepare contract papers to cover the deal,” our source revealed.
These manoeuvres were still on, with Ahangba summoned to Abuja for a provost martial interview.
In the meantime, Sylva lost his bid for a second term as governor. General Azazi then lost his position as the National Security Adviser, and was killed in a helicopter crash last year.
According to our source, during cross-examination at the commencement of trial, Colonel Ahangba had reneged from the blue print by declaring that the statements he made were not voluntary and of his own accord. General Azazi however assured him again and instructed him to withdraw from the position taken to which the trial-within-trial was discontinued.
It is to be noted that he was initially requested by the Nigerian Army to return the sum of N83million to the Government of Bayelsa State through the Nigerian Army, while no allegation was made against him.
