EFCC alleged that the erstwhile AGF illegally N2billion from the account of the Office of the National Security, ONSA, domiciled with the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN. The fraud was allegedly perpetuated between June and August 2013.

EFCC insisted that the illegally diverted fund formed part of proceeds of an unlawful activity of the then NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki, retd. In the charges signed by EFCC’s prosecuting counsel, Mr. Sylvanus Tahir, the court was told that the N2bn was transferred from ONSA account and disbursed into the accounts of several other companies, including one to which one Otunba Ade Adelakun is a signatory. EFCC equally alleged that a former Director, Special Duties in ONSA, and a signatory to the accounts of Helpline Organisation, Col.
