The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday invited former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki for questioning.
The former NSA is expected to answer questions on arms contracts during his period of stewardship.
The invitation suggests that the EFCC may have taken over the arms procurement probe and the likely prosecution of Dasuki and others indicted by the panel which investigated the contracts.
Among those indicted by the panel are former defence chiefs and service chiefs. Thirty arms dealers were also summoned by the panel.
The EFCC in a letter signed by its Director of Operations, Mr. Olaolu Adegbite, invited Dasuki for questioning over alleged diversion of funds, a source said.
“A letter was delivered on Thursday to Dasuki by the EFCC requesting him to report for an interaction on Friday.
“This is an indication that the Presidency has forwarded the Interim Report of the Special Investigative Committee on Arms Procurement to the anti-graft commission.
“I think the development also indicated that Dasuki and those implicated in the arms deals might be prosecuted by the EFCC.
“Now all the parties have the opportunity to present facts, figures and relevant documents before the court for the public to know the true position of things,”
said the source.
Dasuki's residences has been under seige by the DSS since November 3 when he obtained permission from the court to travel overseas for medical reasons.
