ex Finance Director says he delivered $47m in 11 suitcases to Dasuki-

A former Director of Finance in the Office of the
National Security Adviser (ONSA), Shuaibu Salisu,
has alleged that he delivered $47 million which
was withdrawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) in 11 suitcases to former NSA Sambo
Dasuki.
According to the Nation, Shuaibu made the
revelation in a Statement of Witness/Accused he
wrote under oath in the presence of investigators
of the EFCC.
He said he suspected that the cash might have
been given to the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP).
Shuaibu said as a civil servant, he was innocent
of any crime because he only carried out
instructions from the ex-National Security Adviser,
Mr. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki.
“I could remember on the 20/11/2014 , I
was directed by the NSA, M.S. Dasuki to go
to the CBN and collect the sum of $47m in
cash and the balance in Euro and the
directive was obeyed and the monies were
delivered to the NSA in about 11 suit cases.
I acknowledged the receipt of the money
from the CBN which was handed over to
M.S. Dasuki. I think the monies were meant
for PDP. After delivery, I left, I did not see
or know when the money was distributed. I
did not benefit even one cent. The request
for the funds was tag(sic) Special Services
signed by the NSA, M.S. Dasuki, addressed
to the Governor of CBN. I did not know the
source of the money into our CBN Account.
The foreign currencies that I collected from
the CBN were delivered to the NSA in his
house, No. 13, John Kadiya Street,
Asokoro”.
Aletter allegedly signed by Dasuki on November
26th 2014 and addressed to the CBN governor,
instructing that the money be released to Shuaibu
reads in part
“Further to our discussion, you are pleased
requested to provide the sum of $47m cash
out of the N10 billion and the balance in
Euro to this office for special services. Mr.
S.A Salisu, Director of Finance and
Administration, is hereby authorised to sign
and collect the amount. Please accept, Your
Excellency , the assurances of my highest
esteem".
