A former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, has denied receiving money from former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Ribadu challenged those sponsoring reports that he received money from the Office of the NSA, to come forward with documentary evidence to suggest that he collected money from Mr. Dasuki or had made some refunds to government.
His statement reads:
“My attention has been drawn to insinuations in certain quarters of my purported repayment of some monies I was allegedly given by the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd).
“For the record, let me categorically state that I had nothing to do with the former NSA while he was in office. I cannot remember meeting him at anytime while he held sway.
“It is therefore shocking for me to be accused of receiving something from someone I never had any relationship with, not to talk of refunding money he gave me.”
“There is therefore no reason for me to make any refund,” he said.
“Also, I have not been contacted by any security agency on this matter to warrant any action of that nature on my part”.
