In a statement signed by the management of DAAR
Communications Plc, he said that around 2.00pm that day,
the Ag. Chairman of the EFCC, Alhaji Ibrahim Magu, through
a phone call, invited him to the Commission.
On getting there, he was requested to, “shed more light on
some payments that were made to him through the office
of the erstwhile National Security Adviser to the former
President, Malam Sambo Dasuki.”
Dokpesi explained to the EFCC officials that the N2.1
billion that he collected from the former NSA was payment
for for publicity and media political campaigns during the
2015 General Elections.”
High Chief Aleogho Dokpesi “made his statement on the
various media exposures and campaign transactions which
were dutifully carried out based essentially on contractual
obligations/relationship.”
The statement however did not explain how the office of
the National Security Adviser became the cashier office for
the payment of campaign expenses and the source of the
money.
A special panel and the EFCC are probing how trillions of
naira budgeted for defence were spent in the last eight
years. An interim report by the panel already reported
phoney contracts in excess of $2 billion.
