Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s detained ex-Aide-de-Camp (ADC) Col.
Ojogbane Adegbe has passed the buck on the N10billion "gift" for
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) delegates.
He has told the EFCC to ask Jonathan’s former Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa to account for the cash, an inside source revealed.
The ADC said when the suitcases containing the cash were brought as messages for the President, he merely handed them over to Dudafa...
He said military law forbids him from opening message meant for the President, unless otherwise directed. Also, one of the Army officers being questioned over the $2.1billion arms purchase scandal, Col. N. Ashinze, the former Special Military Assistant to the ex-NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), is stranded as he could not resume in his new posting as the nation’s Military Attache to the Nigerian Embassy in Germany.

Although Col. Ashinze has been released from EFCC custody and restricted to the Officers Mess, there was anxiety that he might be dropped from the foreign mission.
Jonathan connected to the money
The N10bn withdrawn from the oil block account at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for PDP delegates to its nomination convention has been a knotty issue because it was based on the instruction of the former President, according to a source close to the investigation.
The N10bn withdrawn from the oil block account at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for PDP delegates to its nomination convention has been a knotty issue because it was based on the instruction of the former President, according to a source close to the investigation.
The source said: “The ADC has spoken with investigators. He said when
the suit cases containing the N10bn were brought as messages for the
ex-President, he did not open them but he handed over the items to SA
Domestic Affairs.
“So, it is only the SA Domestic Affairs (Dudafa), who has sneaked out of the country, who will need to provide the list of beneficiaries. This is the status of the case.
“If Dudafa does not show up, we may declare him wanted in connection with the N10billion cash or seek the court’s permission to attach his property. We are exploring mutual legal assistance with some countries to fish out Dudafa wherever he is hiding abroad.”
