Nigeria - Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, according to The Nation newspaper has opened a can of worms over the $2billion “phoney” arms contracts.
Dasuki was arrested on Tuesday by the Department of State Services (DSS) and was transferred to the EFCC on Wednesday.
“When Dasuki was brought in, he initially refused to write any statement, alleging that he had been subjected to media trial," an EFCC official reportedly said.
“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.
"The disclosures of the ex-Director of Finance in ONSA have assisted greatly in getting to the bottom of the armsgate.
“So, the investigation is still on. We will certainly arrest more suspects soon.”
