He told the EFCC that Jonathan's former Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa, should be held responsible for the cash.

According to the newspaper, the ADC said when the suitcases containing the cash were brought as messages for the President, he merely handed them over to Dudafa, pointing that military law does not permit him to open any message meant for the President, unless directed otherwise.

“The ADC has spoken with investigators. He said when the suit cases containing the N10billion were brought as messages for the ex-President, he did not open them but he handed over the items to SA Domestic Affairs," the newspaper quoted a source at the EFCC.

The source continued: “He said as ADC, the military law forbids him from opening any message meant for the President, unless directed by the C-I-C.

“So, it is only the SA Domestic Affairs, who has sneaked out of the country, who will need to provide the list of beneficiaries. This is the status of the case.

“If Dudafa does not show up, we may declare him wanted in connection with the N10billion cash or seek the court’s permission to attach his property.

“We are exploring mutual legal assistance with some countries to fish out Dudafa wherever he is hiding abroad.”
