The new government acknowledged receipt of handover notes does not mean they accept everything therein are correct. When you for instance write a letter to bank concerning some errors in your account, they will acknowledge receipt of your letter and then pledge to get back to you concerning your letter.

chukwudi44:
No dear,the courts will decide and not your mumu led FG!!!

Demdem:

U still don't get it do u? Documents alone aren't sufficient to conclude that equipment was indeed purchased and delivered to end users. In this era of oluwole documents everywhere, it's not done.
If Dasuki present documents and no one in the military like badeh never saw anything, it only makes them all culpable.

namachine we dey talk?

chukwudi44:
The documents would only be useless when no one acknwleged receipt of those weapons on it!! If however anyone signed on those documents,they will have to answer for it.

When the news broke that the president ordered arrest of ex-NSA Dasuki and others indicted by the government’s committee investigating arms procurement from 2007 and 2015, it was a sweet development to the supporters of PMB’s regime and another reason for the opposition to cry blue murder as usual. Since then, Dasuki has released statements to suggest that he acted in the best interest of the nation and the allegations are deliberately designed to nail him for some reason.

While we expect further legal battles to take place in the law courts, let us examine the troubled ex-NSA’s response to the allegations and attempt to make any sense of it.


It’s more laughable for Dasuki to think the panel “assumes” those jets and helicopters were not delivered. The items we’re talking about are not bolt and nuts but large equipment. Presence of 4 jets and 12 helicopters are not items that could not easily be verified through the Nigerian Air Force and other military formations across the country.

Secondly, acknowledgement letters cannot be proof that those items were supplied. Those who wrote and signed the letters could as well be Dasuki’s coconspirators in this criminal act of sabotaging the country’s security. We’re used to hearing of letters acknowledging delivery of supplies in various organizations when in reality nothing has been supplied.


Are we talking of the same Alex Badeh who revealed on Channels TV to the whole world that the last time weapons were bought for the Nigerian Army was in 2006? http://dailymail.com.ng/former-chief-of-defence-staff-badeh-alleges-last-time-weapons-were-bought-for-nigerian-army-was-in-2006/

In a saner society, Badeh himself would have been put behind bars for selling us dummies in the past.

Again, the allegation is not that NOTHING was procured by the NSA’s office. The accusation is that “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”. The concern here is the 53 failed contracts whose value is more than double the $1bn loan approved by the national Assembly. Why is Dasuki not saying anything about the alleged failed contracts?


Look at the cheap defense in the bold! It also rubbishes the earlier statement that the committee "assumed" those equipment were not supplied.
How can a whole national Security Adviser who took charge of procuring weapons for the nation’s security say it’s not for him to go and find out if the equipment he paid for were supplied? This is a subtle admission by Dasuki that those equipment were not delivered despite the acknowledgment letters he got. You as the NSA virtually had the Service Chiefs in your hands and you got briefings from them from time to time. How could you not have known those heavy equipment were not delivered?

.
Submitting a list of items “bought” based on monies released for such purchases is not the same as actually having those items in stock. The president still needed time to verify your submissions and I guess it’s the reason the weapons committee was set up. So, what’s the point here?
Besides, you don’t determine when and how you will be questioned. The president will normally wait to have enough facts/evidences before calling you to question and the time has come NOW.

The question is not whether there were approvals or not from GEJ for those awarded contracts. We know the type of president GEJ was and his special ability for condoning impunity from people like you is a reason he is no longer a president. If not, he as the C-in-C would have known that you guys were “using his head” and would have discovered all these long time ago. He was sincere enough to reveal that some of the allegations he was confronted with by PMB were not known to him until then. We know the job was beyond his ability but it will not be a good defense for you in law courts.


It’s obvious you will surely be tried properly and no one is in doubt about that. And Nigerians will be happy to know your coconspirators.



Please pay attention to the bold. Does this statement not mean that Dasuki accepts that he is indeed guilty of some of the grievous allegations? Some weighty ones he didn’t address include:

“… 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”.


Well, let the courts decide if you indeed acted in the interest of the nation according to our laws. However, judging by your own statements, it is very clear that you failed to do due diligence as expected of a National Security Adviser who took charge of purchasing and expending defense budgetary allocations.

Lastly, Nigerians should expect more revelations in the days ahead. There will be mind boggling revelations on how Defense budget was spent between 2007 and 2015. What we have been served now only relates to the extra budgetary interventions (such as the $1bn loan and other grants from foreign and local agencies) and not the trillions of naira spent on Defense.

Message to the “which weapons are we now using to fight Boko Haram if GEJ/Dasuki didn’t buy weapons?” crew:
The allegation that they didn’t buy weapons should be understood from contextual point of view. They may have bought some weapons but are grossly inadequate and not corresponding to the amount budgeted/spent on arms and ammunitions. Besides, if Nigeria did not buy a single riffle in ten years, it doesn’t mean there won’t be any weapons in our arsenal.

God Bless PMB
God Bless Nigeria

The FG will apply for it and in most cases based on antecedents, it's granted. There is no record of one failed request based on national security and current realities. Even the judges are humans.
The General, heads that FG courtesy vast majority of Nigerians.

focus7:
Op, just leave Dasuki and let's see the drama he wants to perform, he thought it is Jonathan government where impunity and corruption is the order of the day. By the time Buhari finish with him he will be wishing a fast moving train jam him.

sammhi:
thrash write up ..you are nothing but a bigot.
this is what PMB wants ...public crucifixion of his enemies....
i dont know Dasuki but who are you to bve writing these tales..so what and why do we have the courts? why is Dasuki not being charged to court ? why does PMB want the trial in secret?
Dasuki was with him for about t 3months ..why didint PMB deal with him then? when the man resigned and was rejected and later dismissed then all these.
it is only Nitwits fellows like you or those benefiting form PMB snail and vendetta govt that would take such serious.
the truth is none of us knows the truth.....if the PMB is truthful..let him take Dasuki to open courts and let him be crucified there not through pages of newspaper and social Media...
we are tired of hearing propaganda via social media just to buy public sympathy and cause DISTRACTIONS from the economic hardship of his inept Govt

chukwudi44:
Lolz olodo we have 3 arms of Government,The executive headed by the dullard,legislative headed by Saraki and the Judiciary headed by the CJN,

Trials are within the purview of the judiciary headed by the CJN!! No arm of Government takes orders from another

Demdem:

And if the acknowledger claims he was instructed to acknowledge without seeing any weapon(which is very possible in a country like ours), especially in the case of badeh who claim not to have seen anything doesn't that suggest to u that all including the sponsor of the contract (Dasuki) will be culpable?

ify2016:
What is it to analyse. law of karma...Confusion everywhere OVOKO!!!!

chukwudi44:
Please stop arguing like a fool which you really are!! Anybody stupid enough to put his signature on a document would have to live with the consequences of his actions!!!If Badeh or anyother service chief did sign receipt of any of such weapons from Dasuki,the case against Dasuki would be dead on arrival

Chukwumumu, this is the very reason why reasoning with ur very kind is an hopeless one.

Dasuki was given money to purchase weapons. He took the money and siphoned it elsewhere. he later instructed his subordinates to give him an acknowledgement letter to show jonah-daft that he indeed purchase those arms. His subordinates fearing for their juicy position chose to play along and jonah-daft on receiving it wasnt diligent enough to confirm from other sources if indeed what he was told is true.
Now in ur daft state, u are saying that on the day of reckoning which is now, only the surbodinates will be in trouble for playing along and not dasuki who indeed diverted money elsewhere and not supply any arms.

Chukwumumu, u are eternally daft.

chukwudi44:
Oloribruku ode !! The service chiefs are not surbodinates to the NSA!! Besides no oga can order anyojne to acknowlege what he didn't receive,no court will listen to that pathetic alibi

Firefire:
If Buhary through whatever scheme and machinery got the mandate to rule Nigeria for four years, he should quietly resign if he is weak instead of running from pillar to post to hide his inefficiency.

The suffering of the Nigerian people have gone beyond this tyrannical behavior. He should face the business of governance.

chukwudi44:
Bros further investigations will prove of indeed the former service chiefs did acknowledge receipts of this weapons,where it is and if it was contained in the list of equipments handed over to the new service chiefs!! So both the serving and former service chiefs will also be questioned before we get the whole truth about this matter!!

If it was included in the handover notes by the immediate past service chiefs to their successors which they acknowleged receipt and now it suddenly gets missing,the new service chiefs will have questions to answer

Firefire:
Bros, I beg leave story, Nigerians are suffering, NO FUEL, NO Power, Food don dey cost beyond ordinary, and some brainwashed elements still supporting Buhary ?

Buhary should respect his old age and resign honorably.

Demdem:
Oponu omo ale, on paper he isnt but in reality when jonah-daft was in charge he was. He was in charge of supplying what they will use to operate. that is a huge leverage over them all. Dasuki may claim he never did but only an eternal fool like u will choose to believe his words as the gospel truth. Again fool, are u the judge to determine that? our judges arent as daft as u are remember. Dasuki and his boys are all culpable.
