Category: Nigerian National News
Ibrahim Idris Wambai, the former Accounts Officer II, has revealed that
that the Office of Nigeria’s former Vice President Namadi Sambo was on a
monthly stipend of N20million from the Office of the National Security
Adviser (ONSA) led by former NSA, Sambo Dasuki.
He pointed out that some presidential aides also benefitted from
slush funds from the ONSA, singling out five firms which were used as
platforms by some people to receive funds from the office.
Many prominent Nigerians and leaders similarly drew huge funds from the office.
Records of all cash payments to such individuals and organisations
are still intact, he said in a Statement of Witness/Accused Person which
was filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the
High Court of the Federal Capital Territory and obtained by The Nations newspaper.
The certified statement on oath is part of the Proof of Evidence for the trial of nine suspects next week.
He said: “In December 2014, I took cash of N4million to Col.
Madaki(rtd) in his residence in Wuse II Abuja. I had made many cash
payments to Doyin Okupe, Ahmad Idris (PA to ex-NSA), ADC to former First
Lady Patience Jonathan as payments for monthly operation allowances.
“The documents showing evidence of the payments are in the office of
Yazidu Ibrahim in cash payment files. The exact amounts paid and date of
payments I cannot remember but are available in the files.
“The venue for the collection of the money was my office and the money was given to me from the cash in the strong room.

PC4, Gen. Terba Waya (rtd); Personal Assistant, Domestic Affairs to
ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
“The amounts and frequency of payments to the beneficiaries as well
as the list of other beneficiaries are in the cash payment files
“I also witnessed several payments in cash to various people.
Prominent was about payment of N300million to former Chairman on
Security and Intelligence, Dr. Bello Matawalle from the cash in the
strong room.
“To get details of cash payments in Naira and individuals and
organizations summary and vouchers from January 2011 to July 2015, the
documents are kept in Yazidu Ibrahim’s former office. These should be
collected from the Director of Finance and Administration, Col. Jafaru
Mohammed. I and Yazidu Ibrahim can supply the files and the summary.”
He named five firms allegedly used for curious transfers from the ONSA.
His words: “The amounts of the five companies are ACACIA Holdings
