Jonathan links to arm deal scadal

According to naij.com news, it was reported that Ahmed Raji, Dasuki’s lawyer, noted that the arms deal investigation cannot be discussed without
reference to the former president.

“The national security adviser will normally carry out
the instructions of his president,” he told AFP.
“You cannot talk about this matter without talking
about President Jonathan,” Raji added.
It is uncertain if the incumbent leader of the nation
Muhammadu Buhari will prosecute his predecessor
while many political experts saying that Buhari will
most likely not to do so.

When Buhari was elected as the president in 2015,
he said in his acceptance speech that “President
Jonathan has nothing to fear from me.”

But with the arraignment of a powerful member of
Jonathan’s government, the ex-president could yet
be dragged into the case.

However, the presidency announced that Jonathan
will be forced to face justice if he’s found guilty of
any corruption charges.

Dasuki is standing trial in different courts to
answer charges bordering on supposed diversion of
$2.1 billion meant for the purchase of arms for the
fight against the deadly Boko Haram sect.
