EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu in a session with online news publishers yesterday shared key updates on the agency’s corruption fight especially the NSA arms scandal.
According to Magu:
1) President Goodluck Jonathan has not been arrested in connection with the $2.1 billion arms scandal because no document had been traced to him giving approval for the disbursement of the money for any purpose other than for the purchase of arms.
2) The bulk of the money disbursed from the $2.1 billion had been traced to financing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and promoting the bid of Jonathan to retain the presidency during the 2015 general election.
3) The Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, confirmed he received N1.7 billion for publicity for the 2015 general election. The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Olisa Metuh, was also given N400 million out of the money, but he had vehemently denied it.
4) Political parties that did not produce presidential candidates for the election were also given N100 million each to support Jonathan.
5) While Maj-Gen. Ja’afaru Isa (rtd), an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and close associate of President Muhammadu Buhari has begun the process of refunding the money in his possession, Metuh has refused to do same.
6) “From the records, Metuh got over N400 million, he has not said anything because we need the public money to be returned so that it’s going to be used for public good. Also Jafaru Isa, what Dasuki gave him was N170 million. He made a deposit of N100 million and entered an undertaking to bring the rest. That does not mean we will not prosecute him.
“But Metuh, instead of going for a refund, he has admitted he collected money. Instead of returning the money, he preferred to go on strike,” he said.
7) Meanwhile, Chief Olu Falae said yesterday that he would not refund the N100 million he received from Anenih, explaining that the amount was given to him for onward delivery to his party to assist sell Jonathan’s second term bid.
