Publish Dasuki’s Statement, My Accounts, Fayose Dares EFCC

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, has faulted the refusal of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to make public the statement it extracted from Col. Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser, NSA, in its ongoing probe of money meant for the purchase of arms and the funding of the last general elections in the country.

The governor also asked efcc to publish his personal accounts it froze to let the whole world know what is contained therein.

Fayose threw the challenge, weekend, while featuring on an interview programme on a radio station, Fresh FM, he said, ‘’Dasuki’s statement, will at least show whether the ex-NSA gave money to former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro or anybody to give me (Fayose).’’

In a statement by Mr Idowu Adelusi, his Chief Press Secretary, the governor said: “What I am facing in Ekiti is a war of the elite and incidentally, it is the masses that vote people into office. We know some failed Ekiti politicians who now resume daily in EFCC office to concoct stories and give same for publication. It is only one or two newspapers that always have their so-called exclusive stories and they follow the same pattern.

“The EFCC is only engaged in a mind game. They think they can wear me out. That is not possible as God is on my side because I stand for the truth. EFCC has not told Nigerians how money was wired to me. What the EFCC and their collaborators are trying to do is to set the people of the state against me and they have failed.

“For my two accounts they frozen, I have N300 million in the fixed deposit in one and N82 million in the other. Both accounts and my properties were duly declared in my Asset Declaration Form. They are treading the same 2006 path and they will fail woefully by the grace of God. What they did in 2006, was declared illegal by the Supreme Court and I came back to office exactly eight years after. It means one of us lied,” he said.

“After the APC leaders failed to stop my inauguration, get me impeached, they know that they will still lose again in 2018. What they are trying to do is to create a wedge between me and the people of the state who love me. As far as I am concerned, their project is dead on arrival. The voice of the people is the voice of God,” he stated.

Dasukigate: EFCC Quizzes Former SGF, Olu Falae

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has picked up and quizzed Chief Olu Falae, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, over his alleged role in the $15bn arms scandal.

According to an investigator who spoke to PUNCH newspaper, Falae was quizzed for hours by investigators at the commission’s office on Thursday before being allowed to go home on the condition that he would return in the next two weeks.

A detective said, “Chief Falae came to our office based on an invitation. He told us the story of how he received N100m based on the instruction of Anenih. However, our investigations revealed that Falae only transferred N60m to his party, SDP.

“The remaining N40m was personally withdrawn by him, which means it was not used for campaign. When he was confronted, he started appealing to us that he did not want to be detained or taken to court, so we told him to go and bring the N40m first.
