Indications have emerged that some of the former military chiefs who worked for Goodluck Jonathan and are under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have volunteered to refund some money for Arms they did not buy, so as to escape disgrace.
“Section 28 reads: ‘Where a person is arrested for an offence under this Act, the Commission shall immediately trace and attach all the assets and properties of the person acquired as a result of such economic or financial crime and shall thereafter cause to be obtained an interim attachment order from the Court.’
“We have appreciable list of assets in Abuja, Kaduna, Lagos and Port Harcourt to be attached. One of the affected officers built two mansions in Kaduna and Abuja under six months.
A Service Chief is also being investigated for allegedly acquiring a property of the late first Civilian Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha. As at the time of filing this report, three key suspects in the procurement process were alleged to have sneaked out of the country.”
Another source said: “The government may appear to have been hard on Dasuki because three suspects who were implicated in the arms deal have sneaked out of the country. The suspects, including a top Nigerian and two Israelis, were rated as closer to Dasuki.
“Wherever they are, we will repatriate them accordingly. With the cooperation of some countries, there is no hiding place for any suspect. This is one of the reasons why the Federal Government does not want Dasuki to travel out for medical treatment.
“The Department of State Security Service(DSS) was proactive in placing one of the suspects on surveillance but the recourse to court made the affected culprit to leave the country.
“Another factor is that the cases against the ex-NSA are many and the government cannot say because of an isolated matter, he should be allowed to go abroad. What if he does not return to the country?”
