Former aide-de-camp to former
president Goodluck Jonathan, Col. Ojogbane Adegbe has said another Dasukigate
may be imminent if he reveals what transpired in that administration.
The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) picked up Adegbe on Wednesday
in Lagos where he was interrogated before he was flown to Abuja yesterday.
It was
gathered that ongoing interrogation of the former ADC by operatives of the EFCC
could open up a new can of worms, which “could surpass what is now called
Dasukigate.”
In December 2015, the Department of State Security (DSS)
arrested Jonathan’s National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki and turned him
over to the EFCC over his role in the $2.1 billion arms purchase scandal.
The money, meant to purchase arms for the military
fighting insurgency in the North-East, was allegedly diverted by the office of
the NSA as 2015 campaign funds for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which
was the ruling party then.
EFCC sources said the former ADC may soon give details of
all he knows with regards to financial transactions and the dramatic personae
involved in the last administration.
Preliminary findings, including recovered documents, were
said to have hinted of large-scale questionable expenditure with funds sourced
from and outside the arms purchase deals.
Another source said “most of the funds were reportedly
diverted soon after the election was postponed from the originally scheduled
date of February 14, 2015 to March 28, 2015…”
