It was gathered that the South African Government only faulted “non-declaration” of the cash by the delegation from Nigeria.
The source said: “Nigeria and South Africa are getting closer to diplomatic resolution of the row over the $9.3m transaction. The two nations have opened discussions.
“The Federal Government has submitted relevant data and documents on the transaction to South Africa and insisted that the transaction was legitimate.
“It also clarified that the funds were neither laundered nor smuggled for any covert manoeuvres. No launderer will be audacious to fly into a country in a chartered jet with such huge cash.
“The technical details on security matters, which necessitated the deal had been availed South Africa for screening.
“Based on initial scrutiny of the documents, the Challenger Jet has been released pending conclusion of a full-scale investigation by South Africa.”
Asked why South Africa impounded the cash, the source added: “There was procedural error at the airport, the team did not declare the $9.3million contrary to the aviation and Customs laws of South Africa. So, there was an oversight on the part of the delegation that went to complete the transaction.
“Nigeria is trying to complete the formality and we are confident that the cash will be released for the purpose it was meant for.”
The source added that, “Movement of cash for strategic purchase of security equipment by intelligence services is not new; it is a global trend. The FBI, KGB, MOSSAD and others do it.”

Are We Really One Country? – Femi Fani-Kayode

by OMOJUWA | SEPT. 1, 2014

Boko Haram have taken over the town of Gwoza, killed the Emir and declared the place an islamic state. They have seceded from Nigeria and they are beheading Christians and southerners and all moderate northern muslims that do not share their views. I wonder what would have happened if it had been a town in the south-east that had been taken over in this way by a group of Igbo nationalists and Christian fundamentalists. I wonder what would have happened if they killed the local traditional ruler and then started to kill every northerner, every muslim and every moderate Christian in that town that did not share their views.

I wonder what Nigeria would have done to them if it was an Igbo town that declared secession in this way and not a northern one. I wonder how our northern brothers would have reacted to this and how they would have felt if any southern terrorist group had as it’s main objective the wiping out of islam and all muslims in Nigeria and the establishment of a Christian fundamentalist state in the whole of the south that is governed by Christian canon law. I wonder if our northern brothers would be as calm, as forgiving and as patient as we in the south have been about Boko Haram. The last time that a part of this country attempted to secede, we slaughtered and starved to death over two million Igbos in order to keep Nigeria one. Yet, today, Gwoza has been taken over by murderous secessionist forces and we act as if it is no big deal. The truth is that this is a nation of double standards where southerners are subject to a different set of conventions, laws, rules and regulations when compared to northerners. Northerners can get away with secession and establishing an islamic caliphate whilst southerners dare not try to do the same sort of thing. This begs the question: is Nigeria really one country and are we really one people. And even if we say it is one country and we are one people, how much longer can this remain so given what is going on in the north today with Boko Haram? Some northerners have said that if power does not return to the north next year they will smash up Nigeria and make the south pay dearly. They believe that they own Nigeria and that they were born to rule.

How are we as southerners supposed to react to this? Are we supposed to accept it sheepishly and just bow down and surrender? Does a southerner from the Niger Delta not have a right to serve two terms in office as President of Nigeria? Are southerners and Middle Belters not human beings. Are they nothing but slaves to the core muslim north? Are the issues that Ojukwu raised in 1967 not still relevant today? Surely, it is time for us to answer these difficult questions even though we keep brushing these matters under the carpet. It is time to either answer the Nationality Question once and for all or begin to prepare for the break up of this great country into two or more pieces.

lacasa: Is that what the Australian said in the interview.

yea brother mi. The Senior CBN official who JUST left office gave our hard earned money to Boko boys...that's what Mr Davis said :d

lacasa: SENIOR OFFICIAL not CBN GOVERNOR.


Do you understand that an official from Assistant Director upwards in an Organisation is refered to as a senior official.

If it was indeed Sanusi I believe He would have termed it the latter. Must we always fail to be objective just because your tribesman in the army is mentioned.

If he ihejirika has a case to answer, let him be investigated as well.

Shikenan

buhahahaha who is the most Superior and Senior CBN official? Sanu...si

Lol. You must outta your mind to actually believe that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi will use CBN money to destroy the North. This man lost credibility when he made that accusation.

tawa89: Don’t forget that the CBN official who handles the transactions also used to report to his superior, the official who recently left the bank.....Mr Davis.

By the way who is this superior CBN official who just left office that used our money to finance Boko haram ?

Lol you arr right brother. How come no1 is saying anything about what the man said about the Emir of Kano being a BH Financier, moreover, Ihejirika wasn't even COAS when BH started. The man is an attention seeker.
