Anenih however told the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that he didn’t benefit from the money but only shared it as instructed, The Nation reports.
The PDP chieftain reportedly told the EFCC that he gave N63 million to a group coordinated by a former presidential aide, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, for the 2015 presidential elections.
The money is believed to be part of the $2.1 billion arms fund which was allegedly looted under Dasuki’s supervision.

Dasuki is at the center of the massive money laundering investigation and is alleged to have supervised the looting of the funds which were meant for the procurement of arms for Nigeria's military.
He was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) on December 1, 2015 and handed over to the EFCC the day after.
The former NSA is reported to have implicated several prominent persons in the deal including former governors, ex-ministers and members of the PDP.

Dasuki’s lawyer however denied the report that his client had become an informant while the former NSA said that ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan was aware of the transactions he had made.
Jonathan has however denied authorizing the release of the stated funds despite the former NSA’s claim that he got the necessary presidential approval for the transactions.
Dasuki was released on bail from Kuje Prison in December 2015 but was soon re-arrested by the DSS.
