Associates of the embattled National Security Adviser (NSA) Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), who are angry at the frequent denials of interaction by some of those who have dealings with the former security chief while in office were said to have commenced efforts aimed at establishing the links of such persons with Dasuki.
Insiders in the plot said that some close associates of Dasuki have decided to build “graphic cases against some of those denying dealings with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) under Dasuki.”
It was gathered that Dasuki’s camp had been more than jolted by frequent denials, especially those being published in the media about the transactions that took place in the ONSA under the retired army colonel.
Some sources in the know said that Dasuki’s associates who are in the know of dealings and operations at the ONSA are building up “graphic cases” against those denying receiving either material or cash gifts from their principal while he served as NSA.
Sources confirmed that the aggrieved associates of the former NSA had threatened to release some video evidence to substantiate claims that certain key figures did receive material and cash gifts from their man.
Some sources had confirmed that Dasuki’s loyalists were planning their fight back arrangement and are prepared to go ahead even without Dasuki’s support.
It was gathered that the forces are planning a detailed package on those who got what and their proxies, with comprehensive graphics on “actors and proxies” as appropriate.
A source in the know informed Sunday Tribune that: “Some people have been telling indefensible lies in recent times. The much that some group of associates of the former NSA knows would be packaged into a comprehensive account on who did what.
They plan to go ahead whether the former NSA sanctions the idea or not. There are witnesses and recordings of several visits where gifts, material and cash exchanged hands.
“For instance, they claimed to have records of one man who received two retired army officers in his private sitting room (situated close to the end of the main House), and called his nephew to collect a bag containing some gifts.
The same man was quoted as saying he saw nothing and heard nothing. This is strange and laughable,” the source said, adding that the nephew of the same man, who is not known with any formal job, now has over N800 million in a new generation bank.
The source further said that the media trial of the Dasuki saga appeared to have heaped too much aspersion on the man in a way that his loyalists could no longer continue to hold back.
Said another source in the know: “I think they got angry with several posturings in the media and they believed that being witnesses to a number of developments, they could go ahead and put some things out there.
“How did the nephew of a big man, who has never worked in his life accumulate over N800 million in his bank account in a new generation bank? They think they can cover what they all did, but certain other persons could decide to spill the beans for Nigerians to see the hypocrisy on display.
“All parties would have to meet in court. But before then, if they keep denying and instigating the mob condemnation, those in the know would have no option but to explore ways of showing some clips in the media for the world to see the nakedness of the situation.” (Tribune)
