‘I once took $47m in 11 suitcases to Dasuki’s house’ – Former NSA Finance Director

A former Director of Finance in the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Shuaibu Salisu, has made fresh revelations about the withdrawals from the National treasury by the former NSA, Sambo Dasuki.

The revelations were made through court documents filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in defence of the detention of Dasuki.

Salisu revealed in the documents, that he once took $47million, which was withdrawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in 11 suit cases to Dasuki’s house.

The former Director, who said he was acting based on instructions from Dasuki, said the cash may have been given to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Salisu also revealed that another N10 billion was withdrawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly elections.

The payment of this amount was said to have been authenticated by former Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Salisu’s revelations were contained in a Statement of Witness/Accused, written under oath in the presence of investigators of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Salisu said in the document: “I could remember on the 20/11/2014 , I was directed by the NSA, M.S. Dasuki to go to the CBN and collect the sum of $47m in cash and the balance in Euro and the directive was obeyed and the monies were delivered to the NSA in about 11 suit cases.

“I acknowledged the receipt of the money from the CBN which was handed over to M.S. Dasuki. I think the monies were meant for PDP. After delivery, I left, I did not see or know when the money was distributed.

“I did not benefit even one cent. The request for the funds was tag(sic) Special Services signed by the NSA, M.S. Dasuki, addressed to the Governor of CBN. I did not know the source of the money into our CBN Account. The foreign currencies  that I collected from the CBN were delivered to the NSA in his house, No. 13, John Kadiya Street, Asokoro.”
