The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is holding in custody former President Goodluck Jonathan’s cousin, Mr. Azibaola Roberts, over alleged links with the arms scandal involving the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).

It was learnt that Roberts, who was arrested on March 23 alongside his colleague, Dakoru Atukpa, is the owner of

Oneplus Holdings, which was among the 300 firms indicted by the Audit Panel on arms procurement, between 2007 and 2015.

One-plus Holdings was paid $40m by former National Security Adviser (NSA) Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), for oil pipelines security contract.

The 13-man Arms Panel, after scrutinising documents, had recommended One-plus Holdings among other companies and persons, for further investigation by the EFCC.

As mixed reactions continue to greet Roberts’ continuous detention, his counsel, Mr. Goddy Uche (SAN), has alleged a case of vendetta against former President Jonathan, saying the suspect was allegedly being persecuted owing to his relationship with the former leader.

Uche accused the Federal Government of shying away from its responsibility to pay Roberts’ company an honorarium of $4m, being an outstanding payment for an assignment which his client helped the Federal Government execute.
