Bello Fadile, former Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Domestic Affairs Waripamowei Dudafa and a former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Mr.Abdulrasheed Maina.
They are wanted in connection with the ongoing probe of alleged curious spending by some former public officers, including the management of $2.1billion arms cash by ex-National Security Adviser (NSA) Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), who is in detention.
Some of those wanted allegedly diverted public funds to other uses, including political purposes.
The breakdown is as follows:
- Muazu—(N500million cash allegedly from the Office of the National Security Adviser);
- Yaki(N200million from ONSA);
- Fadile(N100million from ONSA);
- Dudafa( being investigated for N10billion given to the delegates to the PDP’s nomination convention);
- Maina—alleged N20billion pension fraud
- Dikko—N3.5billion incurred on internet project
The affected men might be declared wanted after they failed to honour invitation by the Special Investigative Committee probing the activities of ONSA.
