The Nation reports that the detained National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olisa Metuh, has confessed receiving N400 million from the immediate past National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki.
Dasuki is in trouble with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government for allegedly diverting about $2.1 billion earmarked for the purchase of arms for the fight against terrorism in northeast Nigeria in the last administration.
The paper quoted a source at the EFCC to have said that Metuh admitted the transfer of N400 million into a company, Destra Investment Limited, in which he has substantial interest, from the office of the National Security Adviser.
“So far, Metuh has admitted the transfer of N400 million by ONSA into a company in which he has substantial interest,” an EFCC source was quoted by The Nation.
“It is left to him to justify why he deserved such benefit from arms cash. We are still questioning him on other remittances into the company’s account. We are also demanding how he will refund the cash,” the source added.
