[Revealed] I Delivered $47m In 11 Suitcases To Dasuki – Ex -Director
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

More shocking revelations have come on how huge cash estimated at $2billion meant for arms purchase was allegedly diverted by key government officials and politicians during the Dr. Goodluck Jonathan Presidency.

A former Director of Finance in the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Mr. Shuaibu Salisu, said $47million was withdrawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in 11 suit cases.

He said he suspected that the cash might have been given to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Why A Drop In Inflation Does Not Necessarily Mean A Drop In Prices Of Commodities

He, however, said as a civil servant, he was innocent because he only carried out instructions from the ex-National Security Adviser, Mr. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki.

The Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Justice Ishaq Bello, yesterday ordered that Salisu  be either arraigned in a competent court of law if there is any basis for so doing or be released on administrative bail on terms to be settled by the applicant.

It was also discovered that N10billion was withdrawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)  for gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly elections.

The payment of the N10billion was authenticated by former Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who has said she transferred $322 million from the Abacha loot to Dasuki, following instruction from Dr. Jonathan.

Salisu opened up in a Statement of Witness/Accused  he wrote under oath in the presence of investigators of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The statement was attached to the charges preferred against Salisu and filed  in the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in preparation for his arraignment by the EFCC today before Justice H.Y. Baba and Justice P.O. Affen.

Salisu, who said he did not benefit from all the slush funds from the CBN, said: “I could remember on the 20/11/2014 , I was directed by the NSA, M.S. Dasuki to go to the CBN and collect the sum of $47m in cash and the balance in Euro and the directive was obeyed and the monies were delivered to the NSA in about 11 suit cases.

“I acknowledged the receipt of the money from the CBN which was handed over to M.S. Dasuki.

“I think the monies were meant for PDP. After delivery, I left, I did not see or know when the money was distributed.

“I did not benefit even one cent. The request for the funds was tag(sic) Special Services signed by the NSA, M.S. Dasuki, addressed to the Governor of CBN.

“I did not know the source of the money into our CBN Account. The foreign currencies  that I collected from the CBN were delivered to the NSA in his house, No. 13, John Kadiya Street, Asokoro.”

The Nation last night  obtained memos of some  of the curious withdrawals.

In a  November 26, 2014 memo to the Central Bank Governor(NSA /366/S), the former NSA instructed as follows: “Further to our discussion, you are pleased requested to provide the sum of $47m cash out of the N10 billion and the balance in Euro to this office for special services.

“Mr. S.A Salisu, Director of Finance and Administration, is hereby authorised to sign and collect the amount. Please accept, Your Excellency , the assurances of my highest esteem.

In another April 10, 2015 letter, BPSD/CRC/ GEN/FMF/01/36 by the Banking and Payment System Department, the CBN authenticated payment mandate of N10billion to the ONSA for preparation for gubernatorial and State Assembly elections.

    Sometimes,we Nigerians are numbed with shock,not to do with dansukigate,but the scale of oppressing that our leaders have inflicted on us.how can a man like Mr dansuki with his training as a soldier knew,,that boko haram if they succeeded.nigeria will be more a failed state.there wil be more bloodshed and Somalia will be haven, compare to what will happen to Nigeria in future.
    We have more than 300 tribes,meaning,nigeria is a fragile state,that the only thing that could preserve Nigerians unity IS TRUST,TRUTH,DETERMINATION,BELIEF.how many Nigerians who lost their lives due to Boko haram menace,which could be prevented.
    Why he did that ?,he knew that if book haram is not destroyed and quickly,it will create a snowball effect in Nigerian.we see some other Nigerians are agitating for Biafra,the horror,pain,sorrows are still fresh in, south east Nigeria,which is i the theatre of the war.nigerians lost about 2 millions lives,I PUT THIS FRESH MESS ON EX-PRESIDENT JOHNTHAN,
    Who is in the right mind,court or not court will grant bail to col dansuki or nnamadi kanu,THE CHARGES AGAINST THEM BORDER ON TREASON,AND THE PENALTY IS CAPITAL SENTENCES.the security agencies should press new charges against then,under common law if,is not sufficient,endangering Nigerian’s national security,breaching public order,endangering Nigerian lives willfully,causing death by criminal neglect
