The EFCC probe into the $2.1 billion arms deal has led to the arrest of
an APC chieftain and close associate of President Buhari, Jafaru Isa
pictured above. According to Premium Times, Jafaru who was a military
governor during the Abacha regime, was arrested at about 9pm at his
Asokoro residence in Abuja yesterday January 6th. He is alleged to have
received N100 million from the office of embattled former NSA Sambo
Dasuki.
EFCC had written to him requesting that he comes
forward to explain the reason for receiving the money. Jafaru then wrote
to the antigraft agency, asking that his invitation be postponed
because he lost a relative. Dissatisfied with his request, EFCC
operatives went to his house yesterday night and arrested him.
