All is now set for Nigeria’s former President, Dr. Goodluck
Jonathan, to appear in the ongoing trial of his former NSA, Col Dasuki,
to testify in favour of the former NSA.
He had earlier faulted the charges slammed on Dasuki, claiming that the ex-NSA could not have stolen $2.2billion.
He
was quoted to have said, “We bought warships, we bought aircraft, and
we bought lots of weapons for the army. It’s not possible that he stole
$2.1 billion.”
The ex-NSA’s counsel, Mr. Ahmed Raji (SAN), said today that, “Dr. Goodluck Jonathan will testify in court. He is one of
those who will testify and that the statement he made in London appears
to be the first phase of the war chest of the ex-NSA.”
“You know
the ex-NSA said he acted on Jonathan’s instructions in disbursing some
of the cash, and from the look of things, the ex-President is now ready
to accept responsibility for whatever Dasuki did. So far, we have secured the consent of Jonathan to appear in court for Dasuki. This will make the trial worth it.”
He
also said, “Dasuki has a list of highly-placed beneficiaries from the
arms cash. A particular traditional ruler got about N500million as a
gift from the government through the Office of NSA.
There are
many hidden beneficiaries whom Nigerians must know. Nigerians will be
shocked by some revelations. Nothing short of open trial will let
Nigerians know the truth. We are ready for this.”
