The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission cross-examined
Chief Olu Falae, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, on the
role he was alleged to have played in the $15bn arms scam.
The cross-examination of Chief Falae came as a result of his
admittance of the receipt of N100m from a former Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party during the 2015 presidential election.
According to report, the money was given to Falae’s SDP to
endorse former President Goodluck Jonathan.
But a source revealed that the money came from the imprest
account of the Office of the National Security Adviser, under Con. Sambo Sasuki
(retd).
According to report, the money received by Falae was part of
the N3.145bn wired from the ONSA’s account to the bank account of Joint Trust
Dimension Limited, which according to investigation owned by the Director of
Finance of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Senator Nenadi Usman.
Usman was said to have made the transfer in accordance with
Anenih’s instruction into a UBA account titled Marecco Nigeria Limited with
account number 1000627022 owned by Falae.
Femi Fani-Kayode, Achike Udenwa, and Viola Onwuliri also
received their own share of the money as reported.
According to one of the investigators, Falae was
cross-examined for several hours and released on the condition that whenever he
is needed, he will turn in.
