The
former minister of finance, Dr. Nogozi Okonjo-Iweala, allegedly approved the
transfer of at least N61.4b ($300 million and £5.5 million) from funds
recovered from the late head of state, Sani Abacha, to the office of the
National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, few weeks to the 2015
presidential election, Premium Times reports.
According
to reports, the former minister illegally signed off on the transfer but then
closed her eyes to how the funds were spent, requesting former President
Goodluck Jonathan to demand accountability from the former NSA.
Dasuki,
alongside the former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa and founder of
DAAR communications, Raymond Dokpesi, are being investigated for their roles in
the disbursement of $2.1 billion and N643 billion meant for the procurement of
arms to fight the Boko Haram insurgents.
