President Muuhammadu Buhari has been urged to direct the expansion of the scope of the ongoing prosecution of individuals, including former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki over their alleged complicity in $2.1billion armsgate.
Dasuki and some other prominent individuals are current being tried in various court over their alleged involvement in the diversion of the $2.1b said to have been allocated by the Goodluck Jonathan administration for the purchase of arms.
A lawyer, Sahabi Sami, who made the request while speaking in Abuja, argued that Dasuki did not act alone, but that there were other key players in the disbursement of the money, who are currently walking freely.
Sami, who is the spokesman of a group, Progressive Supporters (PS), identified some individuals he felt should also be prosecuted, and said his group has written to President Buhari and key figures in government on the issue.
He said: stated, “It is our desire not only to put Your Excellency (Buhari) on notice so that your eyes will see beyond the veil cast by some individuals that are vindictive to your programmes within the government, but we are also fully prepared to provide details of those individuals.”
Sami said his group’s letter was copied to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha; Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN); and National Security Adviser (NSA), Ali Monguno and the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen;
Also copied, he added, are the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa; Chief Judge of the FCT High Court, Justice Ishaq Bello; Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu; Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura; and the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Oyegun.- The Nation
