Buhari denies receiving $300 000 from Dasuki
Abuja - President Muhammadu Buhari has
denied receiving $300 000 from the embattled
former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo
Dasuki, reports NewsDay .
President Buhari was reacting to claims by
Dasuki in his statement to the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that he
gave the President $300 000 out of the $2b
meant for the purchase of arms for the Nigerian
military.
Buhari stated that he did not receive a kobo
from the former NSA as being claimed by
Dasuki.
Buhari, who spoke through his Special Adviser
on Media and Publicity, Femi Adeshina, noted
that he only got two Toyota Land Cruiser jeeps
from the Presidency before his inauguration on
May 29, 2015.
Adesina said the jeeps, one armoured and the
other ordinary, were sent to Buhari shortly after
the attack on his vehicles in Kaduna State by
members of the Boko Haram sect..
It would be recalled that Buhari was attacked in
July 2014 by the Boko Haram terrorists on Ali
Akilu Road, Kawo-Kaduna.
