Jonathan All is now set for Nigeria’s former President 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.”
