The Federal Government on sunday released more names of members of the Peoples Democratic Party who allegedly looted the nation’s treasury under the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed who released the new list said the names released earlier was based on verifiable facts, including the amount involved, the date the amount in question was collected and from where it was taken.
He said further that those complaining that the list was too short did not understand that it was strategically released as a teaser.
“The Federal Government has a large number of alleged looters on its list. What was the PDP expecting when it challenged the FG to name the looters of the public treasury under the party’s watch? Did the PDP actually believe that the massive looting under its watch was a joke?, he queried.”
Alhaji Mohammed said the Federal Government will neither be intimidated nor blackmailed into silence, adding that it will also not rest until all those who looted the public treasury have been brought to justice.
Below is the second list:
Former NSA Sambo Dasuki: Based on EFCC investigations and findings alone (this is beside the ongoing $2.1 billion military equipment scandal), a total of N126 billion, over $1.5 billion and 5.5 million British Pounds was allegedly embezzled through his office.
