President Muhammadu Buhari has
denied ever receiving cash of
$300,000 from a former National
Security Adviser, retired Colonel
Sambo Dasuki.

Buhari, who reacted to the claim by
Dasuki in his statement to the
Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission that he gave him
$300,000, said he did not receive a
kobo from the former NSA.

Reacting to the development in an
interview with The Eagle Online on
behalf of his boss, the Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity to
the President, Femi Adesina, said
Buhari only received two Jeeps from
the Presidency before his
inauguration on May 29, 2015.

Adesina said the Jeep, 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.
He said the two Jeeps were Toyota
Land Cruiser.

It would be recalled that Buhari was
attacked in July 2014 by the Boko
Haram terrorists on Ali Akilu Road,
Kawo-Kaduna.

In a text message to The Eagle Online
that further emphasised that Dasuki
never gave a dime to his boss,
Adesina wrote: “After the attack, he
(Buhari) got two Land Cruiser SUVs,
one armoured, the other not. “No
cash.”
