Mr Dudafa is currently on the run, believed to be in the Caribbean or Dubai.
The ADC was yesterday relocated from Mogadishu Cantonment for quizzing by the EFCC on the disbursement of the cash source disclosed.
“We spent hours to grill the ADC on how he got and disbursed the $47million which was delivered to him in about 17 suitcases.
"The money was diverted from the CBN to bribe or settle PDP delegates to adopt ex-President Goodluck Jonathan for second term
“We have asked him in the last 12 hours to account for how he came about the cash.
“He is also expected to provide the list of beneficiaries of the largesse. All the beneficiaries will be unveiled by the EFCC and they have to refund public funds.”
On Dudafa, the top source said: “We are tracking him down. We are trying to locate his whereabouts in Dubai and some Caribbean Islands.
“What is certain is that Dudafa has moved out of the country to avoid being arrested by the anti-graft agency.”

The N10billion is believed to have been diverted from oil receipts as follows: USD5.0M(November 14,2014); $47m( November 27,  2014); Euro 4.0M (December 3, 2014) and Euro 1.6M(December 24, 2014)
