Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and now Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi allegedly paid over N40 billion to embattled former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki during his tenure as governor of the apex bank. The payments were made as ‘donations’ to assist the military in the fight against Boko Haram, sources familiar with the matter have revealed. It is however unclear whether the funds were utilized to acquire hardware for the military by the former NSA. This is what investigators at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are trying to figure out, THEWILL gathered. A source familiar with the development further told THEWILL that one of the ‘donations’ involved N20 billion in cash paid out a few weeks before Sanusi was ousted from office.

Saturday PUNCH learnt on Friday that if the EFCC succeeded in establishing that the suspects were guilty, it would not oppose a plea bargaining from them. According to the Black’s Law Dictionary, 9th Edition (2009), plea bargaining, is “ a negotiated agreement between a prosecutor and a criminal defendant whereby the defendant pleads guilty to a lesser offence or to one of multiple charges in exchange for some concession by the prosecutor usually, a more lenient sentence or a dismissal of the other charges.’’ The EFCC had in 2005 used plea bargaining in the trial of the former Inspector-General of Police, Tafa Balogun, and later in the case of a former Bayelsa State Governor, the late Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, as well as high profile banking fraud cases. A top source in the EF...
