Ex-Presidents Named As Beneficiaries to Dasuki Looted Funds
Category: Nigerian National News
As details of huge funds disbursed by the Office of the National
Security Adviser under Col. Sambo Dasuki continue to surface,
indications emerged last night that the embattled security czar is set
to expose more top Nigerian leaders who benefited from the funds.
A
source close to the former NSA, who was docked yesterday, told Vanguard
that Dasuki who was arraigned yesterday alongside others on a fresh
19-count charge was ready to speak up on how the funds earmarked for his
office was disbursed with details of top serving and retired Nigerian
leaders who benefitted immensely from the money, which is now a subject
of litigation.
According to the source close to the former NSA, it had become
necessary for Dasuki to expose the first in the series of the top
beneficiaries, which include former heads of state and presidents, who
were bought bullet-proof Sports Utility Vehicles by the ONSA with funds
approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Although Dasuki is
keeping the names of the beneficiaries of the car gifts to himself, the
source told Vanguard that he was ready to spill the beans at the
appropriate time, saying that the list will shock Nigerians.
Former national security adviser of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan,
Sambo Dasuki (R), speaks with his lawyer Ahmed Raji, during his trial at
the federal high court in Abuja, on September 1, 2015. Nigerian
prosecutors on September 1, 2015 slapped a charge of unlawful possession
of arms against Dasuki. Dasuki was arraigned on a “one-count charge of
being in possession of firearms without licence,” Prosecutor Mohammed
Diri told the federal high court in Abuja.
According to the Dasuki
aide, all the former presidents and heads of state got one exotic car
from the embattled NSA and did not find out the source of the funding.
The officer explained that of all the former presidents, one of them who
has been very vociferous demanded two of the SUVs from the ONSA, who
grudgingly obliged him.
The former head of state, it was gathered,
had explained to Dasuki that he needed one of the vehicles to be kept
for him in Abuja and another to be stationed in Lagos to ease his
movement to the two main Nigerian cities. The officer however refused to
give the cost of the exotic cars bought for the former heads of state
and president, saying that the details could be obtained from the ONSA.
“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
benefitted 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,” his aide said.
