“They believe the funds were budgeted for arms procurement but was diverted to Mr. Dokpesi.” if this is true, then i see no reason why he was arrested. He is a businessman and he was given payment for services rendered or to be rendered. How is he to know if the funds were meant for arms procurement? It's just like arresting an owner of a TV station who does adverts for dubious pastors who rip off their congregation.
Ar u not a thief if u bought a car that worth #2.5m at d token rate of 600k? Tell me, wat kind of adverts or jingles wil worth such huge amount under few wEeks?

Hmm very funny. Buhari is witch hunting pdp members when the likes of Ameachi fashola tinubu and many others are made ministers with clear cases of corruption on their necks. This government can never make anything out of all nonsense. Take them to courts and give them fair hearing. Aregbesola is there in osun state with heavy burden of debts on the state with nothing to show for it. Well thank God Buhari is not our messiah. He just come and can never conquer except he is having many foes

I don't get it. So it is now an offence to receive money from anyone without a 'clear reason'? If a person gifts me 2 billion Naira, how the hell is it a crime on my part to receive this gift? What exactly is the charge?

Even if I receive a payment of 100 billion, and the EFCC arrests me to explain, I wouldn't say 'pim'. Let them tell me what my offence is and they should seek the reason from the person that paid the money. It is ridiculous.

If they cannot establish criminality or criminal intent in the payment or receipt of the money, then they have no case. Third world jungle with third world methods of law enforcement. Idiots.

As for Dokpesi, if Ezekhome like let him wail to heaven, this man won't leave until he clears his name.
Ozhekomeh can fight for his Aghenebode kinsman, that will not stop investigations into what the payment was made for.

Chukwudi. Honestly you're better than this. You're very dogged and strong in your resolve but you don't have to leap to the defence of this thieves all the time to show you discontent about the present administration.

What business does the NSA have with AIT. Is AIT supplying arms and ammunitions.

These people are the reason why we are here fighting each other. We should instead unite against them at opportunities like this.

You are talking from your limited experience. Ad's during elections are very expensive anywhere in the world. This is television you know and you are comparing it to buying a car. Business owners are there to make money. This is like arresting the owners of MTN for selling sim cards to kidnappers.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday arrested the founder of Africa Independent Television (AIT), Raymond Dokpesi, and former Sokoto state Governor, Attahiru Bafarawa, in connection with the ongoing investigation into arms procurement by the office of the National Security Adviser during the Goodluck Jonathan administration

PREMIUM TIMES learnt the two men were arrested at their Abuja homes by two separate teams of detectives and then taken to the commission’s headquarters where they are currently being interrogated.

The spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, who confirmed the arrest of the two politicians declined to give further details.

“All I can say is that some arrests were made including the two names you mentioned,” Mr. Uwujaren said. “But investigations are still on and there is nothing more to tell you at this point.”

However, a source at the commission told PREMIUM TIMES that Mr. Dokpesi was arrested after investigators established that he received some money from the office of the then NSA, Sambo Dasuki, “without any clear reason”.

“Chief Dokpesi received N2.1 Billion from the NSA’s office but investigators cannot see any clear reason for the payment,” he said.

The source said investigators were “suspicious that the money was passed to him as payment for the damaging documentaries and campaigns his station ran on Buhari, Tinubu and Amaechi.

“They believe the funds were budgeted for arms procurement but was diverted to Mr. Dokpesi.”

On his part, the former Sokoto governor, Mr. Bafarawa, whose son, Sagir, was earlier arrested by the anti-graft agency, was picked up after investigation showed that he also allegedly received about N4.6 billion from the office of the NSA with no clear reason for payment.

Investigators said they suspect Sagir acted as front for his father.

Meanwhile, operatives of the State Security Service are currently interrogating Mr. Dasuki who was also arrested early Tuesday in connection with the arms procurement investigation.

Mr. Dasuki’s lawyer, Joseph Daudu, confirmed the arrest to PREMIUM TIMES, saying he was working to get further details.

He said he was aware that the EFCC had applied to Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja, asking for cancellation of the bail granted to Mr. Dasuki weeks ago.

“To my knowledge, that application is still pending before the court,” Mr. Daudu said.

A presidential investigations committee into arms procurement under the Goodluck Jonathan administration had said in its interim report that it found extra-budgetary spending by the Jonathan administration to the tune of N643.8 billion and an additional $2.2 billion in the foreign currency component.

Why would Dokpesi receive money meant for arms purchase? Is he selling arms? Abeg charge him to court let him sing for us.

All those that have plundered this nation will be plundered in due season. I don't care which political party they belong to, they will not be remembered for anything good. These visionless people have thoroughly retarded the progress of Nigeria having stolen our common wealth. I doubt if our corrupt legal system can bring these "pen robbers" to book, but it's certain that they will rewarded according to their deeds.

No wonder AIT fought tooth and nail, throwing decorum and ethics to the wind.

And, he still owes workers 7 months plus salaries -- I guess part of the plan.
