A secret panel raised by the Federal Government
has reportedly cleared the President of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ayo Oritsejafor, and
Alhaji Mujahideen Asari-Dokubo of involvement in
the $9.3 million arms’ deal.
According to a statement by PRNigeria a media
outfit close to security agencies,
“A special team, comprising security agents,
intelligence experts and officials of the ministry of
foreign affairs has investigated the $9.3 million
cash-for-arms deal and submitted its report to the
presidency.(continue).
“The committee confirmed that the President of the
Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor, had no connection with the transaction.
“It was true that the CAN president’s jet was used
but we found out that it was without his knowledge.
As at the time in question, the aircraft was on
lease. And you may be aware that the lease trend is
peculiar to private jet owners in the country.
“It is the view of the committee that Oritsejafor
cannot be held liable for any shuttle made by a
lease firm.
“As for the manifest of the plane, the committee
also discovered that the Niger Delta activist,
Mujaheedin Asari-Dokubo, was not among those
on board the transaction aircraft.
There was no
mention of Dokubo in the manifest presented during
the investigation.”
