Lai Mohammed: Jonathan will be Jailed if Involved in the Arms Deal

Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has former president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan will be probed if found implicated in the arms deal scandal.

The ex-president had mentioned the minister when he addressed a world press conference in Geneva on Wednesday,27th January 2016.

“As for the Information Minister(Lai Muhammed), you quoted, I was not president in 2006 but in 2010.He said about 15 former governors of states were corrupt. I believe for the Minister of Information to say that, he must name the 15 governors. I also believe the list must be with our security network. The truth will still come out.”

Lai Mohammed however replied on Friday at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ile-Ife where he delivered a speech at the Faculty of Arts Distinguished Guest Lecture with the theme “Nexus between Corruption and Under-development of the Nigeria State”.

“The presidency does not micro-manage the anti-graft agencies and the presidency does not decide who to be probed at any point in time. The anti-graft agency will probe him if they feel that he has questions to answer and they would do their job at the appropriate time.” he said.
