The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission may
write former President Goodluck Jonathan in connection with its ongoing
investigation into arms procurement scam, The PUNCH has learnt.
It was gathered that the commission was planning
to write the former President because his name had consistently featured in the
interrogation of some suspects.
A former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo
Dasuki (retd.), was reported to have said he disbursed funds from his office
based on the instruction of the former President.
Also, a former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had two weeks ago,
said she transferred money to the former NSA as a result of a decision reached
at a meeting presided over by Jonathan.
An EFCC source said, “Although the commission
will not invite the former President, we may write him to tell us his own side
of the story because his name has been coming up in our investigations?”
The source, however, said the commission would
need to seek “clearance” from President Muhammadu Buhari before such letter
could be sent to Jonathan.
