The special adviser to the president on media and
publicity, Femi Adesina has reacted to allegations
that he collected N50 million from the money
released by Office of the National Security
Adviser.

Speaking on Wednesday, January 6 in a chat with
Daily Independent, Adesina said the Nigerian
Guild of Editors (NGE) will respond to allegations
made by Nduka Obaigbena, chairman of Thisday.

He said, "Please direct all questions to the
Nigerian Guild of Editors. But I believe the body
will soon issue a statement on what actually
transpired."

Obaigbena who is embroiled in the $2.1billion
arms deal scandal had on Monday claimed that it
was not only his company that collected funds
from Dasuki. He said the NGE also received N50
million from the office of the national security
adviser.

Femi Adesina was the president of the guild at
the time the payment was allegedly made.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
has been investigating how the office of the NSA
shared $2.1bn, funds meant for arms to fight
Boko Haram, with many top politicians implicated.

Report has it that Obaigbena received at least
N650m from Dasuki for questionable transactions.
