An American identified as Ara Dolaria, has been arrested by the United States government over an illegal arms deal with the Nigerian government. The 58-year-old man who was arrested on May 15 and also stands accused of money laundering, and conspiracy, allegedly accepted approximately $8.3 million from Nigeria and SEI. A statement released by the U.S. attorney's office on Monday, May 20, 2019, revealed that his Fresno-based arms brokering company, Dolarian Capital Inc. (DCI), had been denied licenses to broker international arms deals by the U.S. Department of State beginning in 2013 and continuing through 2014.

However he went on to execute sales contracts with Societe D'Equipments Internationaux (SEI), a French arms brokering company acting on behalf of Nigeria, for the purchase and transfer of high‑explosive bombs, rockets, military-grade firearms, and aircraft-mounted cannons worth more than $8.5 million. It was gathered that the Nigerian government funneled the funds, in part, through a purported furniture company in Hong Kong and then routed them through numerous shell accounts held by Dolarian and others.

While the US government seized over $6 million that remained in Dolarian's account with civil forfeiture proceedings related to that seizure currently pending, it was learnt that he used the funds to pay off personal expenses such as federal and state tax debts, and the purchase of a BMW SUV. The American who was arrested for $8.5m illegal arms deal with Nigerian government, had also tried to broker illegal arms deals with the Cameroonian government as well as Paul Malong, a South Sudanese warlord in Kenya.

Imagine Naija police see that amount for your account, dem go sharpenly enter plea-bargain

I won't be surprised if the Nigerian government knew he wasn't licensed to broker arms, but still went ahead to buy from him. Later they'll say corruption is fighting back.

Look at Nigeria.
Buying arms like a common criminal.

Our leaders have disgraced everybody.

Dealing with the Nigerian government is now illegal in the advanced world. Very soon, being a Nigerian would be illegal too,

Welcome to Next Level... the only countries that take us serious are terrorist nations like Saudi

Yes, he was arrested May 15th.

Look at his face...he looks like a confirmed armed robber.

this might be why they are now going to Slovakia? Slovakia of all place to buy arm. one of the reasons many military chief need to be retired.

thus illegal means of buy arm is where they use to siphon money and over bloated figures. these are the real yahoo guys. fraud after they rigged election

You can make money in so many ways here. But you don't have to go rogue to make it

Some kind of things that happen in this country I don't understand. How is Nigerian government buying weapons from an individual. Shithole country. Can US government buy weapons from me.

Fgn doing same thing they accused the previous government of GEJ when he wanted to get arms through South Africa.
