Jonathan's Ex-ADC Refuses to Name N10B Looted Funds Beneficiaries
There were indications on Sunday that the EFCC reached a dead end on Saturday
in its interrogation of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s ex-Aide-de-Camp,
Col. Ojogbane Adegbe.
According to The Punch, the former ADC insisted on the presence of his
lawyers during the interrogation by the operatives of the commission.
It was also gathered that Adegbe, as he did last week, refused to name the
beneficiaries of N10bn he allegedly got from the Office of the National
Security Adviser.
The money was said to have been diverted by the ONSA, under the stewardship of
Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), from the Signature Bonus Account in the Central
Bank of Nigeria.
An operative of the EFCC, who was part of the interrogating team, said, “We
have not made any progress.
The man is insisting that he can only make statements in the presence of his
lawyers. He has also refused to name the Peoples Democratic Party chieftains
who benefited from the N10bn.”
Another source explained that the EFCC decided to detain Adegbe and two other
personnel of the Army since no lawyer was available to be part of the
investigation.
The source added, “The man, I mean the former ADC to Jonathan, is still being
detained by the men investigating the $2.1bn arms deal.

“The operatives are asking him to mention how much he received from the former
NSA and to provide a list of politicians who received the funds from him but
he has not done so. He is with two others.
“He requested that he could only make his own statements in the presence of
his lawyers.
“So, the operatives investigating the case, decided to keep them (suspects)
over the weekend.’’
