Bulletproof cars: Jonathan in secret parley with National Security Adviser

The National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd.), on Wednesday met privately with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Dasuki is a member of the three-man administrative panel set up by Jonathan to probe the Minister of Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah, over the N255m bulletproof cars purchased for her by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority.

The panel, which is led by a former Head of Service of the Federation, Alhaji Isa Bello, also has Air Vice Marshal Dick Iruenebere (retd.) as members.

Dasuki came out of the President's office at about 5.40pm and was driven out of the Villa.

It was not clear whether issues bordering on the probe formed part of the agenda of his meeting with the President.

His office is said to be saddled with the responsibility of approving amoured vehicles before they can be imported into the country.

The NSA refused to speak to journalists who approached him for comment on the works of the committee.

Jonathan had set up the committee at the peak of public outcry that trailed the purchase of the bulletproof cars. - Punch.
