ABUJA—An aide to former Vice-President Namadi Sambo, Mr. Abba Dabo, yesterday, explained before the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, why he returned N25million given to him by the embattled National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh.


This came as an Abuja High Court sitting at Maitama, yesterday, fixed Monday to rule on an application by the embattled former National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki, (retd), seeking to quash the N32 billion money laundering charge preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Dabo, who was a Special Adviser to the ex-VP, Sambo, told the court that he quickly returned the money to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, after his name appeared in the list of those that benefited from the $2.1billion arms fund largesse.

He testified before the trial court yesterday as the seventh prosecution witness, PW-7. In his Evidence-in-Chief, Dabo, told the court that on December 16, 2015, the 1st defendant, gave him the N25m to assist him (Metuh) to intensify publicity for the re-election of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
