Former Sokoto State Governor Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, who has been quizzed by the Department of State Service (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over his alleged involvement in the diversion of $2.2 billion meant for arms purchase by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has denied receiving any money from the embattled former National Security Adviser (NSA) Colonel Sambo Dasuki(retd.).




This disclosure was made in a statement in Abuja yesterday by one of Bafawara's aides, a former Special Adviser on Youths and Students Matters during his term as Sokoto State governor, Alhaji Akibu Dalhatu. According to the statement, "Bafarawa has no deal with the former NSA nor collected any money from him for any purpose. The truth is that Governor Bafarawa went to the EFCC to honour an invitation made to him by the agency while he was abroad. He had informed them through a letter by his lawyers that he was abroad and would honour their invitation on return. Governor Bafarawa went to the office of EFCC with his lawyer and an aide".
