Ahmed Raji, the counsel to ex-National
Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has said that ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan is ready to appear in court.
According to a recent report in Vanguard, Raji made this known on Tuesday, November 1, 2016.
Raji reportedly said all is set for Jonathan, to appear in the ongoing trial of Dasuki and testify in favour of the former NSA.
Raji said: “Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan will testify in court. He is one of those who will
testify and that the statement he made in London appears to be the first
phase of the war chest of the ex-NSA.”
Continuing, Raji said: “You
know the ex-NSA said he acted on Jonathan’s instructions in disbursing
some of the cash, and from the look of things, the ex-President is now
ready to accept responsibility for whatever Dasuki did. So far, we have
secured the consent of Jonathan to appear in court for Dasuki. This will
make the trial worth it.”
"Dasuki has a list
of highly-placed beneficiaries from the arms cash. A particular
traditional ruler got about N500million as a gift from the government
through the Office of NSA. There are many hidden beneficiaries whom
Nigerians must know. Nigerians will be shocked by some revelations.
Nothing short of open trial will let Nigerians know the truth. We are
ready for this,” he hinted.
Before now, Jonathan had faulted the charges against Dasuki saying the ex-NSA could not have stolen $2.2billion as claimed.
