Dasuki Linked to Questionable ONSA Fund Transfers, EFCC Witness Tells Court

An investigator with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday told an Abuja High Court how funds running into hundreds of millions of naira were allegedly diverted from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) to companies linked to former government officials.

The witness, who appeared as the first prosecution witness (PW1), testified before Justice C.O. Agbaza of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Maitama, in the ongoing trial of former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.).

Dasuki is standing trial alongside Aminu Baba-Kusa, a former General Manager at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and two firms — Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited — over alleged N33.2 billion fraud.

According to the EFCC investigator, documents obtained during the probe showed that several transfers from the ONSA account were allegedly approved by Dasuki to private companies under the guise of security-related contracts.

The prosecution alleged that the funds were part of the diverted public resources meant for national security operations during the last administration.

Justice Agbaza adjourned the matter for continuation of trial.
