Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigation of how National Security
Adviser (NSA) shared funds meant to tackle Boko Haram has been connected to Thisday
publisher and owner of Arise TV, Nduka Obaigbena.
Obaigbena was
said to have received at least N650million from Dasuki for questionable
transactions.
They also
said that Obaigbena, who is also the Chairman of the Newspaper Proprietors
Association Of Nigeria, has dropped out of sight since the discovery and all
attempts at reaching him have failed, EFCC sources said.
Today,
SaharaReporters reached Mr. Obaigbena, who said he was in New York. He said that prior to his trip to New York,
he had been at meetings in London, and will return to Nigeria when he is
through with his visit to New York.
Obaigbena
told SaharaReporters he did not receive any monies from the former NSA, a point
strongly disputed by EFCC investigators.
He admitted
that his newspaper company received a letter from the EFCC and that a response
had been sent to explain what they know about the case involving Raymond
Dokpesi’s Daar Communications. Dokpesi was arrested last week, but he and his
family have offered conflicting accounts about why he received billions of
Naira from Dasuki.
