#Dasukigate: Arrested Buhari’s associate, Jafaru Isa, returns N100million to EFCC

A former military governor of Kaduna State and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Jafaru Isa, has refunded N100million of the N170 million he allegedly received from embattled ex- NSA, Sambo Dasuki. Mr. Isa, a retired brigadier-general, was arrested on Wednesday by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, at his Ashford residence in Abuja. Mr. Isa, a political associate of President Muhammadu Buhari, was grilled for several hours in connection with about N170 million he received from Mr. Dasuki.

A reliable source familiar with the matter said the APC chieftain and member of the 19-man Buhari Transition Committee was released after refunding N100million to the anti- graft commission.
The source said Mr. Isa pledged to return the remaining N70million soon.

“We let him go after returning the sum of N100million. We are expecting him to return the rest
soon,” the source said.
