The special adviser to the president on media and

publicity, Femi Adesina has reacted to allegations

that he collected N50 million from the money

released by Office of the National Security

Adviser.



Speaking on Wednesday, January 6 in a chat with

Daily Independent, Adesina said the Nigerian

Guild of Editors (NGE) will respond to allegations

made by Nduka Obaigbena, chairman of Thisday.



He said, "Please direct all questions to the

Nigerian Guild of Editors. But I believe the body

will soon issue a statement on what actually

transpired."



Obaigbena who is embroiled in the $2.1billion

arms deal scandal had on Monday claimed that it

was not only his company that collected funds

from Dasuki. He said the NGE also received N50

million from the office of the national security

adviser.



Femi Adesina was the president of the guild at

the time the payment was allegedly made.



The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission

has been investigating how the office of the NSA

shared $2.1bn, funds meant for arms to fight

Boko Haram, with many top politicians implicated.



Report has it that Obaigbena received at least

N650m from Dasuki for questionable transactions.
