The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly seized some property belonging to former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki and other suspects in the ongoing $2.1 billion arms deal probe.
The seized properties include a hotel complex on Rabah Road and a mansion under construction in the Malali GRA area of Kaduna State, The Nation reports.
Also reportedly seized was a property which supposedly belongs to a former Theatre Commander of the Operation Lafia Dole in Maiduguri, Major General Yishau Mahmood Abubakar.
The properties in question are said to have been marked with the words “Keep off, under EFCC investigation” in red paint.
Dasuki is at the center of a massive money laundering investigation and is alleged to have supervised the looting of the $2.1 billion in funds which were meant for the procurement of arms for Nigeria's military.
He was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) on December 1, 2015 and handed over to the EFCC the day after.
The former NSA is reported to have implicated several prominent persons in the deal including former governors, ex-ministers and members of the PDP.
Dasuki’s lawyer however denied the report that his client had become an informant while the former NSA said that ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan was aware of the transactions he had made.
Jonathan has however denied authorizing the release of the stated funds despite the former NSA’s claim that he got the necessary presidential approval for the transactions.
Dasuki was released on bail from Kuje Prison in December 2015 but was soon re-arrested by the DSS.
