As investigation into the looting of funds meant for the
acquisition of arms for the Nigerian armed forces continues, operatives of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, are in a dilemma over what to
do with the former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor, Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi.
Sanusi, who was removed from the bank by former President
Goodluck Jonathan for accusing the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
NNPC, of not remitting $20 billion of oil proceeds into the national treasury,
later become the Emir of Kano, an influential traditional and religious post
that carried more weight in the northern part of Nigeria than the CBN.
The operatives are keen on interrogating the emir on the
numerous disbursement of funds to the office of the fo rmer National Security
Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), who is being tried for money laundering,
breach of public trust and diversion of public funds.
Findings by Vanguard, however, showed, weekend, that the
operatives were in a fix on what to do in order to get the revered traditional
and religious ruler to speak to them on what he knows about the huge sums of
money taken away from the nation’s apex bank under the guise of security.
