Arms deals: EFCC takes custody of Dasuki, begins grilling

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
on Wednesday began the grilling of a former National
Security Adviser, Mr. Sambo Dasuki , following his
transfer by the Department of State Security Service
(DSS).

There were indications that the anti-graft commission
may extend its probe to the seizure of $9million cash-for-
arms by South Africa and quiz all those involved in the
botched deal.

An Israeli suspect implicated in the deal was said to have
bolted away after throwing a lavish party at his Wuse
residence.

But there was no respite for ex-Governor Attahiru
Bafarawa, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi and ex-Minister
Bashir Yuguda who were battling for bail on Wednesday.

The Nation learnt that the EFCC was planning to arraign
some of the suspects in court to enable the agency keep
more than 22 suspects being interrogated in custody.
