Probe Dasuki, CSOs, lawyers tell FG



Former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki
Prominent Nigerians and Civil Society Organisations on
Sunday urged the Federal Government to thoroughly
investigate the allegation of felony against a former
National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.).
Those who spoke with The PUNCH included a prominent
lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN); a former Lagos State Police
Commissioner, Abubakar Tsav, and a Kano State delegate
to the 2014 National Conference, Dr. Junaid Mohammed.
Some of them faulted the former NSA for initially hindering
the Department of the State Services from searching his
premises despite the fact that the service had a search
warrant.
The DSS, had on Friday, surrounded the house of the former national security adviser in Abuja and left on Saturday. In a statement by one of its officials, Tony Opuiyo, on Saturday night, the DSS accused Dasuki of felony, misuse of power and possession of destructive weapons.
The DSS said it recovered seven high calibre rifles, (high
assault weapons), several magazines, military related gears
and 12 new vehicles which included five bulletproof cars
from Dasuki’s home.
Falana, in a statement sent to one of our correspondents on Sunday noted that the search of the former NSA’s house
was valid since it had the backing of the law.
He, however, said it was unfair to comment on the
“incriminating items” recovered from his (Dasuki’s) house
until the case is proved against him.
Falana said, “To prove that the search was not a witch-
hunt, the DSS listed the items recovered from the premises
as seven high calibre rifles, (high assault weapons), several
magazines and military related gears, 12 new vehicles, out
of which five were bulletproof. Since Col. Dasuki is
presumed innocent until the contrary is proved, it is not fair
to comment on the “incriminating items” found and
recovered from his house.”
On his part, the Chairman, Transition Monitoring Group,
Ibrahim Zikirullahi, said that Dasuki should be charged to
court if found culpable.
He stated, “I commend the DSS for a wonderful job done.
However, the security agency should go further in
investigating all those that work under Sambo Dasuki. The
government of President Buhari must not allow the
utterances of the Peoples Democratic Party’s noisemakers
to dissuade it from doing the needful of cleaning the
nation’s mess. The Nigerian people are behind him and God
is with him.”
The Executive Secretary, Network of Anti-Corruption,
Ebenezer Oyetakin, said Dasuki should be thoroughly
investigated and should be made to face the music if found
guilty should.
But a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr. Joseph Nwobike, said
the items recovered from Dansuki’s house could not be
said to be incriminating until a court pronounced them as
such, especially when the items were recovered from his
house only few days after he left office as the NSA.
Nwobike also advised the Muhammadu Buhari-led
administration to handle the issue carefully so as not to
erode the goodwill of the government.
He said, “It is not for them (DSS) to say that those items
are incriminating. This is because it puts them in the
position of prejudice – to say that the items are
incriminating. It can only be incriminating when they charge
the man to court and the court finds out that the items are
incriminating and that the man was not entitled to keep
them within that period.”
Tsav and Mohammed said Dasuki should be prepared to
answer questions on his actions while in office.
The two northern leaders said this in separate interviews
with our correspondent, in Abuja on Sunday.
Similarly, the ruling All Progressives Congress dismissed
claims that the President Buhari-led administration was
embarking on a witch-hunt in handling Dasuki’s case.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, said this in response to inquiries from PUNCH

Buhari, It is good news that your eyes are red hot in full preparation to probe corrupt Nigerians. Charity they said begins at home.Tender apology to Nigerians for your refusal to attend Oputa probe panel where OBJ lead government required you to come and account for your stewardship. You quickly resigned from the office as PTF chairman before Obasanjo was sworn-inn.
.
Show some seriousness by initiating this so called probe with the post election violence which was fueled by you in 2011 with the attendant blood letting just because you wanted to be a president.
Let me invite you to probe the sources of your campaign funds which brought most APC states to a stand-still financially.
It will be a big mistake for you not to probe the forgery, perjury and too many lies about your certificate all in effort to deceive Nigerians that you were fully qualified contest the election..
Nigeria most corrupt politicians are now in your party,Atiku,El-Rufai and dozens of your party stalwarts. They must be probed.
Don't forget to probe regimes under the following leaders, General Buhari, IBB, ABACHA, Shonekan, ABDUSALAM, OBASANJO, Yar adua, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. You need independent body to execute this probe.
Your recent political appointments have presented you as a sectional leader. Constitute an independent probe panel to clear you of the allegations that you are presently running a government of the NORTH, by the NORTH for the NORTH.
Most recent spendings including the bailout funds and the 2.4billion spent on this recent 38member American journey failed to follow due process and have resulted in share waste of tax payers money. This must be probed.
Be serious with this probe and set your government on tract to deliver your electioneering promises.
Nigerians and international communities are watching.

Judith Amaechi, the shrewish wife of Rotimi Amaechi, the immediate past governor of Rivers State has been indicted in a multi-billion naira corruption scandal, Nigerian Times can reveal. As President Muhammadu Buhari heads to Washington to beg the Americans to help out with his much vaunted anti-corruption war, insiders are cringing at the composition of his delegation. Rotimi Amaechi was personally selected by the president. Nigerian Times’ checks at the villa showed that the president may not be aware of the existence of the dossier but the Americans know and may not take Buhari’s anti-corruption paean seriously.Amaechi - Buhari Nigerian Times learnt in the weekend that the dossier itself is less than sixty days old. As the story goes, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had received a petition sometime in February this year. The petition detailed the various financial dealings of Mrs Amaechi and how aided by her husband, she had looted the Rivers State treasury of billions of naira. EFCC’s Findings Her dealings are centered on three bank accounts with a Port Harcourt branch of First Bank. The accounts in the name of Rajol Jireh Nig. Ltd, El-Madon Fellowship, and Empowerment Support Initiative. The first is her company; she is the biggest shareholder and sole- signatory to its accounts with her photo id. El- Madon Fellowship, is a prayer group she started when her husband was on the run for his life as he lost the gubernatorial ticket in the run up to the 2007 general elections. As soon as the Supreme Court installed her husband in office, she moved the prayer group to the state house and got it registered and emerged its sole signatory with photograph submitted to the bank. The last is her pet project as first lady. The EFCC’s investigation found the transactions on the following accounts mind-boggling. Some of the accounts are denominated in Naira, while others are in Dollars. But one common factor of all the accounts is that they contain huge sums, which were only accessible to the former first lady of Rivers State. The Accounts Include: ESI – 4344020003193, a fixed deposit account El-Madon Fellowship -4344020002981, another fixed deposit account, Rajol Jireh Nig Ltd- 43440200031162, the main account Rajol Jireh NIG ltd 2010701975 Naira; 4344030000125, a dollar fixed deposit account, and 2024239051 Naira fixed deposit account Staffers of First Bank are not allowed to view these accounts, as they are passworded. The EFCC found that over eight billion naira passed through these accounts since they were opened in late 2008. Some of the looted funds are invested in properties in Nigeria. Nigerian Times learnt from a government house source familiar with the transactions that Mrs Amaechi’s method of transferring money abroad was akin to a bonanza. The bankers are encouraged to look for anyone with about a million dollars. He or she is then made a proposition: wire a million dollars to an account abroad and the naira equivalent plus an irresistible bonus is negotiated. So once the money hits the agreed account abroad, the naira equivalent and the agreed bonus leaves any of the First Bank accounts to another commercial bank in Port Harcourt, then it hits the accomplice’s account. A source told of an unforgettable week back in 2009 when five staff of the bank were pulled off their desks to sort cash for Mrs Amaechi. It wasn’t as thought they were counting but were just pilling the bundles and they never got to the bottom of the cash until Sunday afternoon. They started out on Thursday.
