According to The Nation, the others are former PDP Kebbi State governorship candidate Gen. Bello Sarkin Yaki, a former top official in the Office of National Security Adviser, Col. Bello Fadile, former Special Assistant to eformer President Goodluck Jonathan on Domestic Affairs Waripamowei Dudafa and a former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Mr.Abdulrasheed Maina.
Investigations by EFCC have shown that they all have questions to answer as they are alleged to have diverted the arms fund for the prosecution of the campaign for the re-election of Jonathan last year. EFCC sources gave a breakdown of what each of them allegedly collected from Dasuki's office
The breakdown is as follows:
- Muazu—(N500million cash allegedly from the Office of the National Security Adviser);
- Yaki(N200million from ONSA);
- Fadile(N100million from ONSA);
- Dudafa( being investigated for N10billion given to the delegates to the PDP’s nomination convention);
- Maina—alleged N20billion pension fraud
- Dikko—N3.5billion incurred on internet project
“Security
agencies have given these former public officers enough time but they
have not turned up to clear some disbursements and expenditures traced
to them. The committee is not saying that they are guilty but it is imperative for them to appear before the team handling these issues. They
have up to one week to honor the invitation of the panel or else they
will be declared wanted by the appropriate security agencies.”the source
said
Another
source said“Some of the accused persons on trial admitted disbursing
arms cash to a few of these former public officers. For instance,
Dasuki, in his statement, said he handed over N10 billion to Dudafa for
disbursement to delegates to PDP Nomination Convention. A
former Minister of Finance, Amb. Bashir Yuguda, who is standing trial,
said Yakin benefited to the tune of N200million from some funds. Most
of these people are holed up abroad. Let them come home. Once they are
declared wanted by security agencies, it will be easier to extradite
them home.”.
