Dasuki continues with the list as he list Chief Bode George and Peter Odili as accomplices

Chief Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the former Rivers state governor Peter Odili have been named among beneficiaries of about N100 million each from the embattled former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki.



According to Sahara Reporters, a source at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) revealed that the largess to the two PDP officials was diverted from funds meant for the purchase of arms in order to better equip the Nigerian military in its campaign against Islamist terror group, Boko Haram.

Dasuki, who had made telling revelations in an earlier report following his arrest and interrogation by the EFCC, initially claimed he stole no funds, adding that the former president Goodluck Jonathan approved all his expenses related to arms deals.
The confessions, however, began after he was shown the statement written by his former director of finance, Shuaibu Salisu, in which all those involved in the scam had been revealed to the investigators.

So far, twenty-one people have been arrested by law enforcement agents in relation to the arms purchase scandal.
