Sambo Dasuki arriving a the Federal High Court, Abuja with his Lawyer

 

Financial documents and invoices exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters, has revealed in details how the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, moved billions of naira to accounts used to fund political campaigns and rig elections in Nigeria. 

 

According to Law enforcement sources, these documents show alarming amounts of money, around N15.2 billion, flowing to accounts under the control of the ONSA, then on to highly suspect destinations before major electoral contests in Nigeria.

 

 

An invoice dated February 3rd, 2014 showing a N500 million payment for the Presidential Air Fleet (PAF) account for 'security services' which substantiates a SaharaReporters report on November 18th, 2015. 

 

That report at the time said that that there were N1.3 billion in outstanding debts from PAF accounts left over from the Goodluck Jonathan presidential administration, that the new government needed to service. It has since learned that money authorized to be allocated for PAF service was unlawfully diverted and stolen.

 

 

Included in these exclusive documents is massive N6 billion in payments from the Office of the Secretary to the Federal Government to the DG of the State Security Services, the ONSA, and to the "MEA Research Library" on March 30th, 2015, two days after the PDP lost the presidential election. 

 

It was learned that the MEA Research Library, which received more than N2.68 billion, is a secret account under the control of the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA).

 

 

One invoice from the ONSA dated on July 21st, or three weeks before the gubernatorial election in Osun State, details N575 million in payments to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), the DG of SSS, the MEA Research Library, and the Presidential Initiative for the North East for 'security operation for Osun election.'

 

 

Sambo Dasuki has been at the center of an intense criminal investigation for several months which has implicated numerous high-level political figures in Nigeria including former AIT chairman, Raymond Dokpesi, former Board of Trustees chairman of the PDP Anthony Anenih, powerful South West PDP leader, Bode George, the former Sokoto State Governor, Attahiru Bafarawa, former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and media mogul, Nduka Obaigbena.

 

 

The content of these financial documents and invoices, and the timing of the banking transactions, strengthens evidence of the network of corrupt public figures who used looted funds to bankroll political campaigns and rig elections. They demonstrate the financial ties between looted funds, security officials, military, shell companies, and powerful media figures cooperating with one another to fraudulently rig electoral contests throughout the 2014-2015 period.
