Armsgate: Oshiomhole tells Buhari to arrest Okonjo-Iweala


Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole has called on the Presidency to arrest and prosecute former minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, over her alleged role in the $2bil­lion arms deal.

The governor also advised the Federal Government to punish anyone who was involved in the arms deal purchase under the administration of former Presi­dent Goodluck Jonathan.

The governor insisted that there was no way Okonjo-Iweala was not in the know as the Coordinating Minister for the Economy under Jonathan.

Oshiomhole, who met behind closed-doors with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Wednesday told State House correspondents on his way out that the gov­ernment could not afford to be selective in the probe because, in criminal law, all those involved must be charged for conspiracy.

The Edo governor insisted that Okonjo-Iweala, could not coordinate a corrupt-ridden economy and pretend to be an angel.
