Ex-NSA’s finance chief’s accounts frozen
I don’t know Dasuki, says George
Agency gets court’s nod to keep Dasuki, Bafarawa, Yuguda, Dokpesi, others
Ex-NSA denies naming who got what
AIT chief to produce N2.1b contract
How many Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains got a slice of the “phoney” $2billion arms contracts cake? This is the riddle the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is battling to resolve. Its detectives are probing the role (if any) of Chief Olabode George, former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, former Rivers State Governor Peter Odili and a former General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division, Maj.-Gen. Sarkin-Yaki Bello. Although the three were under EFCC’s watch yesterday, none of them had been arrested as at press time. In fact, George denied knowing former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki. Odili and Bello could not be reached for comments.
The clues on them were said to be preliminary, based on references by some suspects. Three bank accounts belonging to the embattled former Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) finance director Mr. Shaibu Salisu have been frozen. The EFCC shut down the accounts as part of the ongoing probe of the $2billion arms contracts. Also, the agency has invoked the Interim Assets Forfeiture clause in its Establishment Act to seize three duplexes, worth N810million in Lake View Estate in Abuja, which were allegedly traced to Salisu.
