The Nation newspaper is reporting that formerNational Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki has made some mind-boggling revelations on the $2billion phony arms contracts. which the EFCC and a FG committee are probing.
Dasuki was arrested on Tuesday by the DSS and was transferred to the EFCC. An EFCC source said: “When Dasuki was brought in, he initially refused to write any statement, alleging that he had been subjected to media trial. I think the ex-NSA decided not to open up based on the advice of his lawyers that he should leave everything for the open court. .
The EFCC operatives, however, obliged Dasuki a copy of the statement by a former Director of Finance in the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Shaibu Salisu in which the latter made some implicating statements.
Dasuki, who was shocked by Salisu’s confessions, repeatedly asked: ‘You mean Salisu wrote all these! You mean he said these! Give me a pen and paper’. Thereafter, Dasuki decided to open a can of worms. He gave a long list of PDP chieftains who collected money from the Office of the NSA. .
He mentioned the names of a former Deputy National Chairman of PDP, ex-governors and ex-ministers and many others. As I am talking to you, Dasuki is still writing his statement. The disclosures of the ex-Director of Finance in ONSA have assisted greatly in getting to the bottom of the arms-gate. .
So, the investigation is still on. We will certainly arrest more suspects soon.” Some of the diverted funds had been traced to a bureau de change owned by a former member of the staff of the ONSA.
“Some Bureau de Change operators were accomplices of many of these suspects in custody. We are tracking every transaction. On daily basis, we will keep on inviting more suspects because the syndicate has a complex networking,” the source added. Meanwhile, EFCC has secured a court order to keep Dokpesi in custody.
