Jonathan's former aide Dudafa arrested in Lagos, flown to Abuja

The erstwhile Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr Waripamowei Dudafa has been arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS.

Waripamowei had hitherto been arraigned in absentia by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC over his alleged involvement in the mismanagement of the $2.1b arms procurement fund from the Office of the National Security Adviser.

Reports indicate that as at Monday night, Dudafa was being interrogated at EFCC's Abuja headquarters over $47million and 5.6million Euros (N10 billion)  withdrawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN and allegedly shared to delegates to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Presidential Primaries on November 27, 2014.

The former presidential aide who had been at large was nabbed at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos by operatives of the DSS and handed over to men of the EFCC who immediately flew him to Abuja.

A source confirmed that Dudafa had been on the watch list of security agencies.

“Except for the vigilance of security agents at the airport, Dudafa would have gone through the checks unnoticed. But having been watch-listed, operatives of the DSS intercepted and arrested him.

“After handing him over to EFCC, Dudafa was immediately flown to Abuja for interrogation. He was brought in at about 9.15pm.

“The EFCC is excited by the arrest of Dudafa because he is central to many transactions as the SSA Domestic Affairs to ex-President Jonathan.”
