The former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Doyin Okupe has been under intense questioning for the past week, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for allegedly receiving N85m from former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki.
However, the EFCC allowed Okupe to come from home as he was not detained.
Okupe is also accused of receiving dubious contracts to the tune of N76m from a local council in Niger State.
According to officials at EFCC, Okupe had earlier been quizzed over N50m he allegedly collected from Dasuki without proper records.
A source at the EFCC revealed to Punch that, “Okupe was quizzed over N50m which he collected in cash from the former NSA, without record or accountability. Another company that is linked to Okupe, Abraham Telecoms Limited, allegedly received N35.5m from the NSA through the CBN.”
“We also got evidence that a company owned by him, Romic Soil Fix International Limited, received N63m from Chanchaga Local Government council of Niger State and another N13.5m from the same council, for reasons that are not stated.”
“We were told that the payments from Chanchaga Local Government to Romic were made on November 21, 2014, during the Peoples Democratic Party’s primary election and February 13, 2015, just before the general elections.”
“He has not been able to explain the receipts and has been asked to be reporting at intervals. The reason he is not detained is because he claimed to have a heart condition and presented a medical report to back up the claim.”
Okupe had, however, said he didn’t receive any money from the $15bn arms scam.
EFCC shoud detained him also, they are just using there health conditions to escape
