$2.1b arms deals: Mu’azu, Dikko, Jonathan’s ex-aide may be declared wanted

As EFCC intensifies its investigations into the alleged stealing of $2.1 billion arms fund, former Chairman of PDP Adamu Muazu, former Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service Abdullahi Dikko Inde and four others may soon be declared wanted as they have all reportedly declined to honor invitations by the EFCC to answer questions in connection with the fraud.
According to The Nation, the others are former PDP Kebbi State governorship candidate Gen. Bello Sarkin Yaki, a former top official in the Office of National Security Adviser, Col. Bello Fadile, former Special Assistant to eformer President Goodluck Jonathan on Domestic Affairs Waripamowei Dudafa and a former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Mr.Abdulrasheed Maina.
Investigations by EFCC have shown that they all have questions to answer as they are alleged to have diverted the arms fund for the prosecution of the campaign for the re-election of Jonathan last year. EFCC sources gave a breakdown of what each of them allegedly collected from Dasuki's office
The breakdown is as follows:
*.Muazu—(N500million cash allegedly from the Office of the National Security Adviser);
*.Yaki(N200million from ONSA);
*.Fadile(N100million from ONSA);
*.Dudafa( being investigated for N10billion given to the delegates to the PDP’s nomination convention);
*.Maina—alleged N20billion pension fraud
*.Dikko—N3.5billion incurred on internet project
“Security agencies have given these former public officers enough time but they have not turned up to clear some disbursements and expenditures traced to them.The committee is not saying that they are guilty but it is imperative for them to appear before the team handling these issues.They have up to one week to honor the invitation of the panel or else they will be declared wanted by the appropriate security agencies.”the source said
Another source said“Some of the accused persons on trial admitted disbursing arms cash to a few of these former public officers. For instance, Dasuki, in his statement, said he handed over N10 billion to Dudafa for disbursement to delegates to PDP Nomination Convention.A former Minister of Finance, Amb. Bashir Yuguda, who is standing trial, said Yakin benefited to the tune of N200million from some funds.Most of these people are holed up abroad. Let them come home. Once they are declared wanted by security agencies, it will be easier to extradite them home.

76 Hungry Boko Haram Members Surrender To Nigerian Military

Dozens of emaciated-looking Boko Haram members begging for food have surrendered in northeast Nigeria, the military and a civilian self-defense fighter said Wednesday. Seventy-six people including children and women gave themselves up to soldiers last Saturday in Gwoza, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Maiduguri, according to a senior officer. All are being detained at military headquarters in Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram and currently the command center of the war against the Islamic extremists, according to the officer. He insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to journalists. The detainees said many more fighters want to surrender, a self-defense civilian fighter who helped escort them to Maiduguri told The Associated Press. Food shortages could indicate that Nigeria's military is succeeding in choking supply routes of the Islamic extremists who have taken their fight across Nigeria's borders.
