The involvement of popular pastor, Ayo Oritsejafor in the movement of $9.3 million cash to South Africa, purportedly for the purchase of arms has been confirmed by security agents, Sahara reporters is reporting. Recall that Oritsejafor’s Bombardier jet was seized in South
Africa’s Lanserai airport on September 5 after law enforcement officials found that the jet had illegally ferried $9.3million cash into the country accompanied by an Isreali, Eyal Miseka and two Nigerians. The Nigerians are yet to be identified. Fresh details made avalible to saharareporters showed that the pastor, President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, coordinated the movement of the cash, and that its original destination was Cyprus, not South Africa. Nigeria government had said the money was meant to buy arms from Tier One in South Africa but It Tier One is not registered in that country to sell arms, rather, government planned to buy arms from the ESD International Group Ltd in Cyprus, the report added.
Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria had denied any involvement in the failed arms purchase deal. He had claimed to have leased the jet to Eagle Air, in which Eagle Air, in turn leased it to Gold Coast Produce Limited. Meanwhile, Pastor Kallamu Musa Dikwa who last year alleged that the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Pentecostal Fellowship off Nigeria (PFN), received N7 billion from Goodluck Jonathan to facilitate and support his reelection has retracted his earlier statement.
