The president of Newspaper Proprietors Association of
Nigeria, NPAN, Nduka Obaigbena, on Monday said the Nigerian Guild of Editors
collected N50 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser.
Mr. Obaigbena, who is also chairman and editor-in-chief
of Thisday newspaper, revealed this in a letter to the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, dated December 30, 2015.
The EFCC had last December invited the NPAN president in
connection with the ongoing probe into the $2.1 billion arms procurement fund
allegedly misappropriated by the former National Security Adviser, Sambo
Dasuki.
Mr. Dasuki, alongside some top officials of the Peoples
Democratic Party, and other former senior officials are currently being
investigated for allegedly receiving the arms fund.
In his letter to the EFCC, Mr. Obaigbena explained that
it was not only his company and NPAN that received funds from the ONSA, saying
the NGE also received money for its secretariat complex.
While Nigerian Guild of Editors has called for the probe
of the arms procurement scam, the NPAN president indicated that the editors
also collected N50 million cash from Mr. Dasuki’s office.
