The acting chairman of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC explained, yesterday, why former
President Goodluck Jonathan has not
been arrested over the $2.1 billion
arms scandal .

Speaking with online news publishers
yesterday, in Lagos, the EFCC boss, Mr
Ibrahim Magu said that no document
has been traced to Jonathan giving any
approval for the disbursement of the
money for any purpose other than
arms purchase.

He said that all those questioned so far
in connection with the money were
people who disbursed or collected it for
reasons other than the purchase of
arms and ammunition.

“All approvals by former president
Jonathan did not mention that it was
for political purposes.All the memos
approved by him were for the
purchase of arms,” he said.

Regarding Olisa Metuh, the EFCC boss
revealed that the PDP spokesman said
he would rather go on hunger strike
than refund the N400 million he
allegedly collected from Dasuki.
