Why we’ve not arrested Jonathan- EFCC
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.
