Dokpesi was arrested by the EFCC on Tuesday, December 1, for being a party of the arms purchase scandal involving Dasuki, and the theft of $2.1 billion from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and to make matters worse, the DAAR communication chairman’s family offered conflicting statements about why Dokpesi received the money from the NSA.

The Cable reported that Dasuki, who was the first to be arrested by officials of the EFCC over the misappropriation of $2.1 billion arms procurement fund had his trial for the fresh application filed by the federal government seeking to stop him from travelling abroad for medical treatment, adjourned till January 20, 2016, by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.

Also, as the singing continues, The Nation reports that strong indications have emerged that the former president Goodluck Jonathan may be interrogated by the EFCC for his alleged role in the misappropriation of funds meant for the procurement of arms.
