The EFCC probe into the $2.1 billion arms deal has led to the arrest of an APC chieftain and close associate of President Buhari, Jafaru Isa.
Mr. Isa, Military Administrator of Kaduna State from December 1993 to August 1996 during the military regime of General Sani Abacha and one-time governorship candidate of the defunct CPC in Kano State, is a close friend of the embattled former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
He is alleged to have received N100 million from Sambo Dasuki.
EFCC had written to him requesting that he comes forward to explain the reason for receiving the money. Jafaru then wrote to the antigraft agency, asking that his invitation be postponed because he lost a relative.
Mr.
Isa was
arrested at his Abuja residence located at Ajayi Crowther Street,
Asokoro. Operatives of the anti-graft commission
invaded his residence around 9pm, and then whisked him away a few
minutes later.
