Arms Probe:Although there were some issues but  Dasuki did not take $2.2b – Jonathan                 


Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has said that it was outlandish for his previous National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, to have stolen $2.2 billion as being denounced by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Reacting to questions after his address on Youth Entrepreneurship at the well known Oxford Union in the United Kingdom, previous President Goodluck Jonathan, said: "They said the National Security Adviser (Sambo Dasuki) stole $2.2billion. I don't trust some individual can simply take $2.2 billion. We purchased warships, we purchased flying machine, we purchased heaps of weapons for the armed force et cetera and you are as yet saying 2.2 billion, so where did we get the cash to purchase each one of those things? "Yes, there were a few issues. Yes, there are still debasement issues however some of it were over blown. I'd say overstated and they give an awful impression about our country. You can't say the national security guide stole $2.2billion. It is not only conceivable." To abstain from sounding angry with the present government, Mr Jonathan clarified that a portion of the debasement cases were still in court and would rather permit the lawful procedures to uncover the certainties of the matter. He said: "One thing about the issue of defilement is that these matters are in court, we should permit some of these procedures to end. Of late a few judges' (homes) were likewise attacked. There are such a variety of things included and we need to catch up these matters to conclusion before we know the reality. "I would prefer not to be seen a previous president testing what the sitting government is doing as such I have chosen to stay silent for the court to investigate them." He said affirmations of defilement were not one of a kind to his organization or the nation. He said: "You will see that it has turned into a noteworthy subject at whatever point there is a change of government … I am not saying there is no defilement in Nigeria, there is debasement. On the off chance that you take a gander at defilement there is no nation that is free, the degree changes, the discernment fluctuates. "Straightforwardness International discusses the way debasement is being seen in various economies, why do we discuss the way defilement is being seen, it relies on upon the issue brought up in the media consistently."
