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 Tuesday 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.”Vanguard
