The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at the weekend raided the Abuja office of former Vice-President Namadi Sambo in connection with the ongoing investigation into the $2.1 billion arms procurement probe.
The raid, according to the commission's sources, was prompted by allegations that some of the funds disbursed for the political campaigns of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by the immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), through the former vice-president.
When contacted, spokesperson of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, could not confirm the raid.
"I will have to get back to you on this," he said.
However a source disclosed that in addition to documents carted away during the raid, the sum of $50,000 was discovered in the office.
