Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki has reacted to allegations that he laundered funds meant for arming Nigeria’s soldiers against Boko Haram.
Dasuki was indicted by a panel constituted by PresidentMuhammadu Buhari to probe arms deals in the country from 2007 to 2015.
Below are five important things Dasuki said about the allegations:
- “There was no contract awarded or equipment bought without approval from the then President and Commander-In-Chief. I am not a thief or treasury looter as being portrayed.”
- “I have a lot to tell Nigerians but in the interim, they should not believe some of the allegations as the gospel truths.”
- “The good thing is that some of the key actors in the present administration were parts of the past process being viciously challenged.”
- “As for my tenure as the nation’s NSA, I acted in the interest of the nation and with utmost fear of God. I did not use the office for any self-serving agenda.”
- “I occupied the Office of the National Security Adviser at a difficult moment in Nigerian history when terrorism was at its peak and I am leaving posterity to judge me accordingly”.
The former NSA is alleged to have misappropriated about N337 billion worth of funds meant for the procurement of arms for the country's troops.
