A show in the United States, the PBS NewsHour, has said it had in its possession documents detailing how ex National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki received about $336 million from the CBN and NSA despite having a budget of $160m for the year.
According to the show, it has a letter written by the embattled ex NSA addressed to the CBN, requesting $47m.
The letter, which was written on the letterhead of the Office of the NSA, titled ‘Request of Funds for Special Services’ with reference number, NSA/366S, was dated November, 2014.
According to the US television show, which has over four million viewers weekly, the money was given to the ONSA in cash and was conveyed in armoured vehicles at midnight.
In a second document on the letterhead of the NNPC and addressed to the Director, Banking and Payments of the CBN, the CBN was asked to give the National Intelligence Agency, which was under the leadership of Dasuki, $289,202,382.
This was despite the fact that the NIA’s budget was only $160m for the year.
