What happened to the $5m withdrawn from
the National Security Adviser’s account at the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN)? The cash vanished under former NSA Col. Sambo Dasuki’s watch.
This question and more relating to other
“curious” withdrawals in the dying days of the.....
former President
Goodluck Jonathan administration informed the invasion of Dasuki’s homes
by Department of State Security (DSS) at the weekend.
Although Dasuki has not been linked with any cases of corruption, sources told The Nation yesterday in Abuja that his office was being investigated for alleged questionable withdrawals running into billions of naira.
It was gathered that Dasuki, the
immediate past NSA to Jonathan, who President Muhammadu Buhari sacked
last Monday alongside the Service chiefs, would be quizzed on how a
driver to his personal assistant disappeared with $5 million, which was
withdrawn from the office’s account with the CBN.
The DSS, in a statement issued at the
weekend, justified its raid on Dasuki’s home on the suspicion that he
was plotting to disturb the peace with the quality and quantity of high
caliber weaponry stocked in his Abuja home where bullet proof vehicles
were recovered. His father’s house in Sokoto was also searched.
Although Dasuki said he was being victimised for discharging his responsibilities, a Presidency source told The Nation that evidence abound that his office played a major role in some shady withdrawals.
Dasuki’s office, the source explained,
was fingered in the case of a driver to his personal assistant who
allegedly disappeared with a car containing $5million cash withdrawn
from the NSA office’s account with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Dasuki was placed under security
surveillance immediately Buhari was sworn in due to the role he played
in the plan to truncate the handover of governance to a new government
on May 29, it was learnt.
