The Former NSA Col Sambo Dasuki who is to be arraign in Court today over $2b arms deal scam, and other related public fund misappropriation,said he acted on former President Jonathan's instruction over the N10bn,
he said he only handed over the money that was given to the Peoples Democratic Convention delegates to Jonathan's Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs Waripamowei Dudafa and the Aide-de-Camp,who in turn shared the money
He claimed and protested he had nothing to do with the money,that he has no foreign account, accusing the EFCC that he was been given media trail which will jeopardize his defence.
He said: “I wish to state as follows: That I have been publicly indicted and any statement may jeopardise my defence. Having been briefed by the EFCC investigators on why I was invited, I will answer the charges in court. As such, I do not wish to make any further statement on the matter
“That I am aware in November (I cannot remember the exact date), my office requested the CBN to exchange N10billion from the account of the Office of National Security Adviser domiciled in CBN. The money was exchanged at $47m and some Euros which I cannot remember. The exact amount was delivered at my residence.
“The money was for delegates that attended the nomination convention for the PDP. Presidential nomination. The money was paid and sent to Hon. (Waripamowei) Dudafa (SSAP Household) and ADC(C-IC) for distribution on the instruction of the President.
