Following the findings of the 13 man committee set up by the Office of the National Security Adviser to audit the procurement of arms and equipment in the Armed Forces and Defence sector from 2007 to date as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari, the Presidency has ordered the immediate arrest of former NSA, Sambo Dasuki, and others.

In a statement signed by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, the presidency said, though the committee which was inaugurated on 31 August 2015 is yet to complete its work, its interim report has unearthed several illicit and fraudulent financial transactions.

The statement said that ”as part of the findings, the committee has analyzed interventions from some organizations that provided funds to the Office of the National Security Adviser, Defence Headquarters, Army Headquarters Naval Headquarters and Nigerian Air Force Headquarters, both in local and foreign currencies.
”So far the total extra budgetary interventions articulated by the committee is Six Hundred and Forty Three Billion, Eight Hundred and Seventeen Million, Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand, Eight Hundred and Eighty Five Hundred Naira and Eighteen Kobo (N643,817,955,885.18).

”The foreign currency component is to the tune of Two Billion, One Hundred and Ninety Three Million, Eight Hundred and Fifteen Thousand US Dollars and Eighty Three Cents ($2,193,815,000.83).
”These amounts exclude grants from the State Governments and funds collected by the DSS and Police. It was observed that in spite of this huge financial intervention, very little was expended to support defense procurement.

”The committee also observed that of 513 contracts awarded at $8,356,525,184.32; N2,189,265,724,404.55 and €54,000.00; Fifty Three (53) were failed contracts amounting to $2,378,939,066.27 and N13,729,342,329.87 respectively.
”Interestingly, it was noted that the amount of foreign currency spent on failed contracts was more than double the $1bn loan that the National Assembly approved for borrowing to fight the insurgency in the North East.

It further divulged that”The committee also discovered that payments to the tune of Three Billion, Eight Hundred and Fifty Million Naira (N3,850,000,000.00) were made to a single company by the former NSA without documented evidence of contractual agreements or fulfilment of tax obligations to the FGN.

Further findings, according to the presidency, has revealed ”that between March 2012 and March 2015, the erstwhile NSA, Lt Col MS Dasuki (rtd) awarded fictitious and phantom contracts to the tune of N2,219,188,609.50, $1,671,742,613.58 and €9,905,477.00. The contracts which were said to be for the purchase of 4 Alpha Jets, 12 helicopters, bombs and ammunition were not executed and the equipment were never supplied to the Nigerian Air Force, neither are they in its inventory.

The statement said that,”Even more disturbing was the discovery that out of these figures, 2 companies, were awarded contracts to the tune of N350,000,000.00, $1,661,670,469.71 and €9,905,477.00 alone. This was without prejudice to the consistent non-performance of the companies in the previous contracts awarded.

”Additionally, it was discovered that the former NSA directed the Central Bank of Nigeria to transfer the sum of $132,050,486.97 and €9,905,473.55 to the accounts of Societe D’equipmente Internationaux in West Africa, United Kingdom and United States of America for un-ascertained purposes, without any contract documents to explain the transactions.

”The findings made so far are extremely worrying considering that the interventions were granted within the same period that our troops fighting the insurgency in the North East were in desperate need of platforms, military equipment and ammunition. Had the funds siphoned to these non performing companies been properly used for the purpose they were meant for, thousands of needless Nigerian deaths would have been avoided.

”Furthermore, the ridicule Nigeria has faced in the international community would have been avoided. It is worrisome and disappointing that those entrusted with the security of this great nation were busy using proxies to siphon the national treasury, while innocent lives were wasted daily.

”In light of these findings, President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that the relevant organizations arrest and bring to book, all individuals who have been found complicit in these illegal and fraudulent acts,” statement said.

Let the probing continue

Now you know PMB means business. Let the wailers come and start shouting witchcraft or na witch-hunt.

What exactly was dasuki's crime.....why all the focus n fight against him

Ghen ghen!....e don happen!

This is the reason why he has been held under house arrest

What a crook

Now Justice will prevail

No wonder the thief was desperate to join Diezathief in London

Hope he wont have prostate cancer by magic

Dele Momodu, Another news avenue for you

Dasuki wey dey under house arrest you arrest again. I don't understand

That's y the thief did all he cud to stifle the elections and is now using the excuse of a non existent medical issue to escape abroad.
I bet if dasuki had been allowed to board an aircraft he wud never have set foot in Nigeria again till his maker calls him.
Bloody criminal!

He has been caught. Simple as ABC. Any problem with that?

The President is now the police, prosecutor, judge and jailer.

He is being witch hunted because:

1. He arrested Buhari back in 1985

2. He knows the real boko haram.

What a smart man you are!

So the the Head of National Security could not the tell the Nation who the real Boko Haram is while he was in office?

Buhari faked the Boko haram attack on him in Kaduna where dozens of innocent people were killed.

This is why he has been purging the DSS and NSA of people who know the truth behind the Kaduna attack which he staged.

The plan was orchestrated by that midget El Rufai in order to instigate wide spread riots in and around Kaduna and Zaria which they expected to spread all over the north. Thereby leading to military intervention paving way for a transitional govt after GEJ is overthrown.

When confronted with strong solid evidence about the attack being fake, Buhari and the APC will later cease in less than a week from the day of the incidence to mention the attacks which was meant to look as if it was Jonathan's doing.

Have you bothered to wonder why the attack on Buhari was never a campaign issue nor used by liar Mohammed in his shameless propaganda? Or have you wondered why the Southwest papers ceased to report on the issue further less than a week that it occurred?

Use sense

Evidence Sir?

Saturn213:
Evidence Sir?

Buhari is a boko.

That is more than enough evidence.

Simply mind-boggling. When some of us raised alarm over the poor, wretched and ill-equipped state of the Nigerian army, despite the disbursement of $13 billion to fight Boko Haram, supporters of GEj shouted indignantly. With these revelations we are justified. Dasuki should be tried, jailed and made to return as much of the looted funds as possible.

Why was Buhari too particular about the DSS and NSA to the point that he refused them to do their constituted role of protecting the president?

For the first two months of his administration the President was openly subverting and undermining the functions of a constituted security apparatus.

Can this happen in the US? Can an Obama decide on his own to avoid security reports from the NSA, Fbi and NSA?

Buhari's body language towards these two agencies early in his administration is a clear indicator that he had something to hide.

I think it was clear to the Buhari government very early that Dasuki stole a lot of money. House arrest was merely to stop him absconding. This is not the GEJ government where serious offenders are granted bail or given a head start only to 'disappear' miraculously. They have Dasuki where they want him. He can now be arraigned with the new findings presented as evidence to secure his conviction.

I love this

Congratulations my fellow Nigerians....... .
..... We made the right choice.... ..
.. .... I love this man.. ...

who dasuki don help?

Is it only dasuki that has a corruption charge on his head?

This is pure vendetta and blackmail to punish and silence dasuki!

Why Buhari carry the matter for head?

To all the APC zombies, do you still cling to the fallacy of Goodluck being behind Boko Haram?

I rest my case.

it is practically a Fruitless case.
unless PMB wants to get Mr.Dasuki in jail at all cost.
this report is a very unreliable report in court!

How is it a fruitless case when there is likely paper trail forensic financial investigators have already uncovered? Are you unaware of the fact that many nations have promised to assist Nigeria recover looted cash? Anyway, let us continue to watch.

many nations promised to assist Nigeria in its first against corrupt officials,yes!
but to recover funds as in return cash moved into their economy,no! or simply it will take DUE PROCEDURE!

Mr.Dasuki case or this preliminary report States money WAS Transfered,lodged to the office of the NSA (his care) for the purchase of military equipment and they can't see much on ground!
it is very funny scenario because I can see foreign accounts of nations that refused to sell Nigerian ammunitions.
the only way I see in this brohuha is whether PMB ,Dasuki and the contractors will confirm those payments!
any thing from there is international politics!
the bane issues I see is the undocumentation which I doubt Mr. Dasuki will claim is not in his possession!
