Arms scandal: Dasuki’s associates threaten to expose beneficiaries

A new twist to the ongoing investigation of the
$2.1bn arms contract scandal may soon unfold
as associates of the embattled former National
Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki have
threatened to make public a proof that those de­
nying to have benefitted from the money actually
collected the amounts ticked against their names.
They said it was shocking that some politicians
would deny ever having anything to do with the
ex- NSA and his office when there is a record to
show that they received the money.
Addressing some newsmen yesterday, three of
Dasuki’s friends and associates claimed that they
were prepared to build up graphic cases against
those denying receiving either material or cash
gifts from the former NSA.
The associates, who pleaded for anonymity said
that apart from a comprehensive subpoena of indi­
viduals and their proxies, who received financial
and material gifts but have turned round to deny
ever doing so, said they were considering
releasing recorded video of all transactions.
“Some people are shamelessly telling indefensible
lies. We have witnesses and recordings of these
visits. A man received two retired army officers in
his private sitting room, called his nephew to
collect the bag and would thereafter say he saw
nothing, heard nothing. This is very laughable.
“How did his nephew who has never worked in his
life accumulate over N850 million in his bank
account (0045586381) in a new generation bank?
“Let them cover what they think they could, and
we would certainly spill the beans for Nigerians
to see their hypocrisy.
“All of us would meet in court. But before then if
they keep denying, we would release some clips
on both YouTube and other forms of social media
for the world to see their nakedness,” the one of
the associates who led media interaction said.
Dasuki and some prominent Nigerians including
Chairman of Daar Communications Plc, High
Chief Raymond Dokpesi, former governor of
Sokoto state, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa are facing
trial over their alleged involvement in the arms
contracts funds bazaar.
