There are indications that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, may summon the immediate past President, Goodluck Jonathan, to explain what he knows about the ongoing probe into the scandalous arms procurement deal.
The ant-graft agency is said to be contemplating writing the former President because his name has consistently been mentioned during the interrogation of some suspects, The Punch reports.
Former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), is currently being prosecuted by the EFCC for illegally disbursing to top politicians funds meant for the procurement of arms for the military’s fight against Boko Haram insurgents in the North-east. This, Daskui had alleged was in line with the directive of Jonathan, who was the then President.
A
Federal Capital Territory, FCT High Court presided over by Justice Peter Affem has ordered that former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) should be remanded in Kuje prison pending when he meets the conditions of his bail.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday arraigned a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki; a former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda; a former Sokoto State Governor, Attahiru Bafarawa; Mr. Bafarawa’s son, Sagir; and others on fresh charges bordering on money laundering and criminal breach of trust.
The charges against all the accused persons are currently being read to them at Court 24 of the FCT High court, Abuja.
There are indications that the former National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki is set to expose more top Nigerian leaders who benefited from the slush funds meant for the procurement of arms for the Nigerian Armed Forces.
The embattled security czar who was arraigned in court alongside others on a fresh 19-count charge was quoted by a source as being ready to disclose the identity of top serving and retired Nigerian leaders who benefited from the slush fund which he is now being made to account for, Vanguard reports.
The report quoted a source close to the former NSA as saying that it had become necessary for Dasuki to expose the top beneficiaries which include former heads of state and presidents, for whom were bought bullet-proof Sports Utility Vehicles by the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, with funds approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The aide said the former presidents and heads of state got one exotic car from the embattled NSA without knowing the source of the fund, adding that one of the former President demanded two of SUVs, to which ONSA obliged.
According to the aide, as reported by the newspaper, the former head of state told Dasuki that he needed one of the vehicles to be kept in Abuja and another to be stationed in Lagos so as to ease his movement in the two cities, though the source refused to give the cost of the exotic cars bought for the former presidents.
“What is coming will shock Nigerians and many of them will get to know if indeed Dasuki used the money to enrich himself as being bandied in many quarters. As a law-abiding NSA, he had to carry out the instructions handed over to him by the Presidency and nothing more,” the aide said.
“It is also instructive to note that those who are now blaming Dasuki for carrying out his assigned duties and calling for his head actually benefited immensely from the security vote, which was domiciled in his office. The truth of the matter is that all over the world security votes are used for various reasons to bring about national peace and stability and Dasuki could not have done otherwise,” the source said.Source: Daily Post News
