Shocking details, true to what we told you, have begun tumbling in from sources at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission where the duo of Daar Communications Plc Chairman, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi and former Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, are currently being detained over their alleged involvement in the mind boggling $2.2 billion arms deal now rocking the nation.
The two men were picked up from their Abuja homes today by some EFCC operatives. And have been with the anti graft agency since then, where they are still being quizzed.
According to what we heard, Dokpesi was allegedly accused of collecting N2.1 billion from the office of the then National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, rtd., who is also being detained. But by the Department of Security Service, DSS.
For Bafarawa, his is N4.6 billion. Which the EFCC hasn’t been able to lay their hands on what it was meant for. Just like Dokpesi’s. The former’s though may have been for the obnoxious documentaries which his TV station, AIT, ran for PDP against APC at the height of the elections that uprooted PDP from power months back.
