EFCC Replies Jonathan's Cousin, Aziboala; What Did You Use Nigeria's $40m For?

The EFCC has revealed that the detained cousin to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Aziboala Roberts, got as much as $40million from former NSA Sambo Dasuki, for no justifiable reason.

EFCC counsel, F.A. Jirbo, while opposing a fundamental rights suit by Roberts before an FCT High Court, said the suspect had in September, 2014 received the money from Dasuki for purposes of supplying what was described as “tactical communication kits”.

He said the mandate form from the ex-NSA showed the money was wired from the Citibank N.A. Canada Square Canary, Canada into the Zenith Bank account of Roberts’ company, Oneplus Holdings Ltd.

He said Roberts’ bank statement of account also shows that another N650million was on December 8, 2014, transferred to his account by the same Sambo Dasuki.

He said the second suspect, Dakoru Atukpa, the executive director projects at Oneplus, claimed to have used the funds for peace building initiatives, demobilization of pipeline vandals and easing of oil production through the NNPC LNG projects in Olokola and Brass in 2014.

EFCC said Aziboala should talk about Nigeria's Billions he took for doing nothing, and stop sentiments.
