The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)has revealed that it will invite top officials in the Goodluck Jonathan administration that had a hand in the disbursement of funds related to the arms purchase.
According to Vanguard Newspapers, a top EFCC source said top on the list is the former Minister of Finance & Coordinating Minister of the Economy in the last Administration, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
This is coming on the heels of the anti-graft agency’s resolve to re-open the case of the former Rivers state Governor, Dr. Peter Odili.
Reports say Odili allegedly received N100m from the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
The former Governor has since debunked saying he collected N100m from the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national chairman, Dr Adamu Muazu and not Dasuki.
Okonjo-Iweala. was accused of illegally disbursing funds to the former National Security Adviser.
Sambo Dasuki is in the eye of the over $2.1b storm.
The funds were meant for the procurement of arms for troops fighting the Boko-Haram sect in the North-Eastern region of Nigeria.
