I was instructed to pay Okupe N50M in 2012 after he visited Mr. Dasuki-Shuaibu Salisu.

Former ONSA director of Administration and Finance Shuaibu Salisu has disclosed that upon entering the National Security Adviser’s office in 2012, he was given instructions to pay Chief Okupe N50 million. He said this in response to the news that the Federal High Court had found Doyin Okupe guilty of money laundering.

According to information obtained by Newscrescent, Dr. Doyin Okupe, a former senior special advisor to former president Goodluck Jonathan, was found guilty on Monday by Justice Ijeoma Ojuwku of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court of accepting more than N200 million in cash from former national security adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki, Col.

Okupe was found guilty of violating Sections 16(1) and (2) of the Money Laundering Act and accepting cash payments beyond the maximum amount authorized by the Act without going through a financial institution by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, who rendered the ruling.

However, in a statement issued by Shuaibu Salisu, the author responded, Chief Okupe visited the Office of the National Security Adviser in 2012, and following their conversation, I was instructed to give him N50 million.
