#Dasukigate: I did Not Collect Money From Anybody......... Nuhu Ribadu

The pioneer execeutive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu, in a statement made yesterday  denied receiving any money from the embattled former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

“My attention has been drawn to insinuations in certain quarters of my purported repayment of some monies I was allegedly given by the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd),” Mr. Ribadu said.

“For the record, let me categorically state that I had nothing to do with the former NSA while he was in office. I cannot remember meeting him at anytime while he held sway.

“It is therefore shocking for me to be accused of receiving something from someone I never had any relationship with, not to talk of refunding money he gave me.”

Mr. Dasuki is currently facing prosecution for his alleged involvement in a $2.1billion arms fraud when he was the NSA.

Mr. Ribadu said he did not receive any money from the former NSA either directly or through a proxy.
