Indications have emerged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, as part of investigation into the distribution of money for the procurement of arms in the war against insurgency, is exploring the possibility of using ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s aide-de-camp, Col. Ojogbane Adegbe, as a prosecution witness against some "powerful" suspects.
Col. Adegebe was arrested by the EFCC penultimate week after his name reportedly came up among those who are 'involved' in the distribution of money running into Billions.
According to LEADERSHIP, it was gathered from a reliable source conversant with the matter that the EFCC had proposed to cut a deal with Col. Adegbe to use him as prosecution witness, this is just to help him so that he might be saved from dismissal from the Army.
“He has not agreed to be a prosecution witness. He’s insisting that he doesn’t know anything about the money for arms procurement, that he was only an aide and that he carried out duties as assigned by his principal,” the source said.
The source further stated that the plan to use him as witness however does not foreclose the possibility of his prosecution if he is found to be guilty of any wrongdoing in the course of the investigation.
