Breaking: EFCC Arraigns Dasuki, Others Over Money Laundering
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, and others before a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged money laundering.
Dasuki, who is facing trial for mismanaging over N100 billion meant for arms procurement during the Goodluck Jonathan administration, was arraigned alongside his former aide, Shuaibu Salisu, and a former Director of Finance at the Office of the NSA, Sagir Mohammed.
The EFCC accused the trio of laundering the funds, which were meant for the purchase of arms and ammunition to fight Boko Haram, through various means, including the use of fake companies and shell accounts.
The anti-graft agency alleged that Dasuki and his co-accused used the funds to purchase properties, including a N100 million mansion in Jabi, Abuja, and a N50 million property in Maitama, Abuja.
The EFCC also alleged that Dasuki and his co-accused laundered the funds through the use of fake companies, including a company called GTECH, which was allegedly used to launder N1.5 billion.
The accused persons pleaded not guilty to the 32-count charge brought against them by the EFCC.
The trial judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, adjourned the case to October 22 for further hearing.
This is not the first time Dasuki has been arraigned over allegations of corruption. He has been facing trial since 2015, and has been accused of mismanaging over N100 billion meant for arms procurement during the Jonathan administration.
Dasuki has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and has claimed that the allegations against him are politically motivated.
