Former Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has said that
Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana is nothing but a tool of
corrupt elements for linking her with the Arms purchase scandal which
was allegedly siphoned by former Security Adviser, Lt. Col. Sambo
Dasuki.
Falana had written the International Criminal Court (ICC), asking it
to investigate those allegedly involved in the arms deal, including
Dasuki.
However in a statement by her (Okonjo-Iweala’s) media Assistant, Mr.
Paul Nwabuiku, on Monday, the former Minister stated that attempts by
Falana to link her to the $2.1 billion Arms issue is dead on arrival.

The statement reads in part: ‘’The malicious attempt by Lagos
lawyer, Femi Falana to mix Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala up in issues that have
nothing to do with her in his letter to the International Criminal
Court, ICC, is a desperate joke by an integrity-challenged charlatan.‘’This latest effort to try to attach her name falsely confirms that
Femi Falana is nothing but a tool of corrupt elements whose interests
were hurt by the work Dr. Okonjo-Iweala did in fighting corruption while
she was in office.
‘’Falana’s latest attempt to implicate Dr Okonjo-Iweala falsely
suggests that he is suffering from an ailment that may be described as
Chronic Cerebral Amnesia (CCA) because he simply has no grasp of the
facts.
‘’Contrary to Falana’s lies, Dr. Okonjo-Iweala has absolutely nothing
to do with the alleged misuse of $2.1billion by the office of the
former National Security Adviser. Falana and his sponsors are simply
trying to invent a connection where there is none”.
