A source who spoke with Vanguard confirmed the on-going discussion between the two governments and said the seized aircraft has been released by the South African government. The source added that the money was seized following failure by Nigerian delegates to declare the money at South African airport
"Nigeria and South Africa are getting closer to diplomatic resolution of the row over the $9.3m transaction. The two nations have opened discussions. The Federal Government has submitted relevant data and documents on the transaction to South Africa and insisted that the transaction was legitimate. It also clarified that the funds were neither laundered nor smuggled for any covert manoeuvres. No launderer will be audacious to fly into a country in a chartered jet with such huge cash. The technical details on security matters, which necessitated the deal had been availed South Africa for screening. Based on initial scrutiny of the documents, the Challenger Jet has been released pending conclusion of a full-scale investigation by South Africa. There was procedural error at the airport, the team did not declare the $9.3million contrary to the aviation and Customs laws of South Africa. So, there was an oversight on the part of the delegation that went to complete the transaction. Nigeria is trying to complete the formality and we are confident that the cash will be released for the purpose it was meant for. Movement of cash for strategic purchase of security equipment by intelligence services is not new; it is a global trend. The FBI, KGB, MOSSAD and others do it.” the source said

Oh well so now boko guy re aware u guys are going to buy arms and weapons.....planing on how they will steal it wud be reeling in their mind now
Jonathan's hands are so deep in crime that most Nigerians cannot believe the man they call President is in fact a criminal. Did Jonathhan not show up in Chad with a known BH sponsor (Ali Modu Sheriff)? Who is the South-west PDP Chairman----Baruju, a wanted drug kingpin? Who is the main PDP Chairman----Adamu Muazu, a man with a N19 billion EFCC case? Who did Jonathan support to be the Governor of Ekiti---Fayose, a man with two EFCC cases? Did Jonathan send his plane to Benin Republic to go and rescue Dokubo from his 48-hour detention in Benin Republic? Where is the $20 billion that is unaccounted for? Who supports the Minister of Petroleum who used N10 billion for private jets in 2 years? All these crimes all linked to Jonathan and yet Jonathan is smart enough never to be caught red-handed. Is he too smart for Nigerians? Will the ICC at the Hague try Jonathan for crimes against humanity involving the acts of the Nigerian Army in extra-judicial killings in the NE?
PD P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#########GOD punish devil##########
why will they carry 9.3 million dollars in cash and travel. Also what concerns CAN president with FG. Isn't there suppose to be a separation between CAN and FG.
And some fools like El-Rufai,Lai Mohammed and Dino Melaye can go hang themselves now.
All of you attacking Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor here on LIB can as well jump into the lagoon.
Committing national crime with pride by our leaders.
Dem don cum oooo fg make una share money reach us oooo dias God ooooo dis money u people r moving from 9ja to oda countries some people just need small of dat 9.3m chi mo huge goody bag
$9.3million for arms? Are we fighting the whole world or just Boko Haram? There is God ooo. We are not stupid.. why dint they declare the money at the port of entry...we no be fool. Thieves!!!!
Na Ebele get that money! for FG to defend it...Oga o...9.3m tho!
Cover up probably!!!!!
I think there is more to this issue that the Nigerian government or some certain individuals in power are not revealing, because if its a legitimate purchase of arm, and its not black market purchase, why can't there be a bank transfer? Why does it have to involve such huge amount in cash in a cashlight society and a civilised world? Why wasn't the authorities in SA informed before such huge amount of money arrived their shores? So many unanswered question.
Your comment will be visible after approval
See them fooling themselves...embezzlers club they shud do a show collaborating with bovi if they fink dis issue is funni...idiotas
It's been said that insurgency can not last if the goverment does not know about it. Which country carry cash to buy weapons in this jet age. My conclusion, Federal Government knows so much about how illegal weapons are being smuggled to this country.I dont understand this excuse, carrying cash to buy arms in a private chatered plane without necessary documentations on behalf of FG and it took FG how many days to cook up story. I know a lot of people are not happy with this country being one, but please stop wasting innocent souls.
God Know"s Best In This Issue (Linda"s Man)
Y are the names of the individuals concerned (those guys in d get) not mentioned? As @ yesterday, tot they said it was ishyaku ..... y is everything about nigeria complicated?

Fear God Jona, which country in the world buys arms or trades in CASH. What are u hiding? Buying official things in CASH! U then use a private jet owned by the CAN president! This is all so fishy. May the wicked not go unpunished!
Thieves of the highest order....so what happened to bank transfer?.... oh I forgot...they want to hide the transfer...
Sounds believable....#SeunLondon

Na wa o.I for say...
I smell a rat
This so called source that does not want to mention his name!
FIRST TO COMMENT***(GURU)
OK! WE HAVE HEARD..
This thing sounds phony 2me tho. Whc country were they purchasing the arms 4rm? What eva happened 2online transfer?
Why in the first instance should the purchase be done by any other department that's not military,air force,navy or police?
Why do we have heads of all the aforementioned as well as defence ministers if they won't be the ones handling such transactions?
Why is it on a privately owned jet when the Nigerian government have so many jets?
Why wasn't an instrument or money transfer channels used in place of cash?
These will be swept under the carpet as usual but the truth is the truth about whoever authorized this has been caught with their hands in the jar.but as usual my fellow Nigerians will blame it on every other thing and say its the opposition parties.
These government is clearly irresponsible.
And the blabbers will open their mouth to talk without investigation. Weldone Sahara reporters, continue the lies. ur sponsors will be revealed soonest
thank GOD at least those insulting Christianity will shut up
This is just bull crap so what happened to Govt owned or military jet to do the same Assignment, this our Govt ppl are liars remember that election is close so dnt be deceived
#Whatever# there is God oooooooooooooooooo
Federal government. there is Godooo.
Is this meant to be an explanation this ppl really think we are stupid o this is just ridiculous who do they answer to
Nigeria is the most unhanded country in the world! Why is the government covering this thing up?! GEJ what is going on in your government?! The way they connive to cover up the truth and their erring friends!
Story Story, STOOOORY. Imagine how these people call us fools. So there was no need for bank transfer through the CBN of Nigeria and South Africa? And why did they not use OR TAMBO airport, rather used Lanseria? Why did they not declare the money if they know it is legal? Why is the South African government in-charge of weapon discharged denying of signing any business transaction related to weapons with Nigeria?
That's Alright

FG trades out with a bank or a financial institution.
So me a mere importer can also trade out with a bank then.
Chikena
Ayo Oritsejafor should right away be vacating his post as President of CAN. Being caught up in a situation like this seriously hurts his credibility and compromises the trust reposed in him to speak truth at all times to President Jo. When a supposedly ordained peacemaker finds himself aiding the cause of acquiring the instruments of violence, his position becomes utterly untenable.
that does not look right to me.
Believe this, you will forever believe everything foolish. So the money can not be transferred between the Central Banks of both countries.How covert can that be... so what is covert about this now... Stupid Government. Everyone in the world knows we are combating Terrorists, why do we need to hide purchase of arms. What is the secrecy for... Even after the publicised request for $1bn dollar to fight the insurgence...
AAh...This is the end of NIgeria
Oh please...We are not fools!
When breeze, we see fowl nyash
first - Chris Oyakhilome
second - T.B. Joshua
third - Oritsejafor
Who's next?
I have never seen any govt as corrupt as this badluck govt.
Is k.....
idiots they must keep referring to CAN president to allow people keep abusing CAN...if an aircraft is leased to someone why don't u mention who it was leased to and hold them accountable? its obvious oritshejafor has no business in this deal so they should stop mentioning his name...
I told u guys to stay tuned coz more drama are coming. Funny country indeed.
There you go Nigeria! what more proof do you need?? Na govt be this sooo?? chai!!!! the federal government has sold the country out!! brace yourselves, very soon the new owners of Nigeria will come and chase us out..
Ok
FG finally interfere, sh*t need to be covered up
BORN TO SHINE!!!!
this is a flimsy move.
ISIS, Al Queda and Boko Haram also do it.
So after these now, who are we suppose to arrest? the olofos that alway jump to conclusions.
an oversight indeed! this is obviously not the first time, they got caught!! and is this how a legitimate govt does business??? really? and why that particular jet?? this is all shades of shady! like I said, very soon the new owners of Nigeria will come and chase us out!
Hmmm!!! God will help us.....
Na dem sabi. Mthweeesss.
May God help Nigeria.
dia is God o
why not wire transfer, or simply declare it on diplomatical grounds....
Una try.Just to buy arms covertly they cannot do. What can they even do self.
Story for the Gods. My question is if actually the South African goverment was aware it won't get to media,africa and there mentality. If it were to be USA you don't hear pim lol
kkkk ooo
is somebody thinking wat am thinking,hmmm FG
Mtchewwww!!!!! See how sweet and stupid this lie sounds. I still maintain.. who are the sellers of these arms and why wasn't the SA govt informed about such movement of cash to their soil? 9days for the thief sha!!
#Fizz
Story, story, story!!!
Liar!!!
hmmmmm. Jonathan√CAN
awon ole
Nonsense!
This country is amazing.
Why should a private jet be used in procuring weapons for government? Are we being serious right now? GEJ has shown the most disgusting level of impunity ever. They are OBVIOUSLY behind boko haram menace which is the reason only the north is being affected. May God expose them totally.
Something is not just right about this transaction. In this 21st Century, it is old fashion to be moving physical cash for transaction of legitimate business. Except it is shady and illegitimate. This episode will certainly rubbish the image of the Government in the long run. The CAN President should concentrate more on spiritual affairs in line with his calling and stay away from politics. He is seen more as a politician and a business. Bishop Idahosa, his mentor, should be turning in his grave, disappointed..
I dont understand this explanations, refering to FBI and KGD etc do not matter to me, because i am quite sure even they do such, it will be definitely be one of there own and not American civilians. One thing that bothers me is, why the CAN aircraft? does it me that SA do not have good banking system to warrant transfer? why did FG not explain to SA earlier, abi our presidents dey quarrel? infact Nigeria is getting worse. to me this is the worst government ever in our history
1. Oil subsidy offenders - No answer
2. Chibok girls - No answer
3. BH sponsors - No answer
4. Missing Plane crash pictures - no answer
5. Oil Minister renting private jet with our money - no answer
Please what does this present government has answers to....
Church building collapse and looks worst than the bombing of world trade center.... MYSTERY IN OUR COUNTRY. In fact if i have source for CHAD citizenship i will take it
I am still smelling curruption in dis issue
They didn't declare because they wanted to siphon some of that money jare. Thieves as usual!!!
Ok ooooooooooo thats clear
BUT WHY USE ORITSEJAFOR'S JET?
Atleast nw una go let pastor Oritsejafor rest... May God protect him for us as CAN president...he remains d BEST
So would Orisejafor's now agree to have been in the know since the FG na him friends? Bunch of buffoons! God dey.
so,what happen to wire transfer via banks,Naija for show once again
Gbam!!!!!!, film don end
Story 4 de gods,we knw better
The CAN President is not clean ,that I know , Jerusalem /Isreal Trip with the GEJ na the outcome we dey see small small.....
HAAAAA, There is God o
I saw this coming, so not surprised. So long as it is this man, Govt must surely intervene, else he will leak their secrets. But why then carry such huge an amount in cash? Who are you deceiving? Well it is none of my biz. Have given up on my Govt/country. All man on your own here.
TRASH!!! So Pastor Orisajefor is now a KGB Agent or an SSS Official? what was the fund doing in his jet?
i kuku trust Nigeria, dem go quickly do I.D CARD for pastor since SSS officers arent supposed to divulge they are one.
Fela said it ... Na padi padi we dey o...
Kk
This shows how much politics has entered into the church... CAN president has being a close pal of the president and it makes sense he launders money for him under the pretense of the church and umbrella of christianity... won't be surprised when GEJ losses next year n dragged to court, Orisejefor would go to jail with him
Liars and thieves! total BS. So, the Fed govt doesnt have jets anymore, they have to borrow the one that belongs to Ayo... hmmm, and it is not declared who the arms are for and for what purpose. God will save his people. All the blood you are sharing and planning to share... may you not be spared.
Its so glaring that Jonathan has a hand in boko haram n can president was used in disguise..... may d god of thunder strike u all down. Jonathan mission is 2 destroy nigeria come 2015 I saw it in my dreams.... how they throw dose chibok girls into a well n dey scream d next fin I saw was blood blood everywhere. Ur Can president wear chains lik nigga raw. Did jesus christ wore chains he said (Can) d private jet wld b used for pastorial missions. In this d mission? FG is d boko haram!!!!!! GOD jt exposed them nigerias do not turn deaf hears n eyes get up for a resolution. They wanna kill us all
Mk use of ur brain pls, dont b talking from ur ass.
Despite the number of jets in the Presidential fleet and other commercial jets out there, it is only that of CAN President that is worthy of this deal? FG is only legalizing this crime. If it were to be Buhari or any opposition, the likes of Okupe and Abati would have been ranting. How come Adeboye or Oyedepo's jets could nit be used for this purpose. CAN President is an accomplice in this matter. How I wish Nigeria is a sane country. I know this story will fade. A country that cannot account for 20million dollars. When did South Africa become Ukraine, Germany or US that arms are manufactured in large quatity. This country is just upside down
Story story, so the army now buys weapon with CAN President jet, is that part of his office
Yeah me too.after all,its just $9.3million dollars in unused bills.who won't forget something as trivial as that.
That's how I forget all the time.
These people are really having a good laugh at our expense,someone obviously told them its ok to tell us Nigerians anything.we will fall for it as usual but most importantly,we will only rant on social media.
My question is, must the payment be cash, why not make payment via letter of credit for such huge sums of money
Its so funny. But my question now is. How come the F.G wants to acquire arms with $9.3million dollars with a CAN president private jet? There is something fishy happening here. I dey laff. F.G?? CAN President?? I dey laff Una. CAN President Private Jet?? The church of Christ has been polluted. God help us. #Daniels
It is time for any right thinking and sincere Nigerians to believe that our leaders irrespective of their religion, political and ethnic affiliation are the problems of this country and they should be dealt with. Federal govt was recently accused of not remitting $20 billion and was crying foul, CAN was accused of having knowledge about BH, it is denying it. So what do we call this, CAN president and arms deal where is the connection. Let all nigerians go on street and hold FG responsible if truly this is democracy....
It's well with this country..I no it will all end one day, trust no one including ur pastors or imams. Put my trust in Jesus the author and finisher of my faith not one stupid people hiding under the umbrella of Christianity.
I don't want to believe this bullshit is coming from 9ja government I'll just wait watch $ see b'coz I knw more is to come on this issue this government in their right senses can not come out $ defend this crime acept they have intention of dividing the country $ declearing war may GOD help all
See cover-up. Try this with the US. Well your cup would be full one day.
Thiefs
I guess we'd rather murder 12 soldiers who protested against a setup than probe this obvious crime?#justsaying #mayyourkidsdrinkofthiscup
D story wit FG intervening cos d money is for buying arms is all sham n a cover story, CAN president needs sum1 2 cover his exposed ass n d FG re readily there 2 cover cos of corruption. I weep 4 dis country n CAN is a body disgracing Christianity over n over again. Wetin concern CAN president plane wit FG money??? How come abi oritsejafor d militant ni
Fuck you Tee!!!
Nigerian government officials specialize in telling lies. Whatever is the case, just.....#Bring Back Our Honour#
MAN OF GOLD
I trust GEJ.
so much for cashless policy... and I'm suspecting Pa Ago was given the contract to acquire arms as yawn gas story change ... I still siddon dey look *spreads mat *
My GOD can not be fooled My GOD is ever FAITHFUL. If nobody told you continue
My GOD can not be fooled My GOD is ever FAITHFUL. If nobody told you continue
Must they carry cash???? Cashless economy my bottom!
Foolish talk
Does the govt mean that international transactions are not carried out by fund transfer? The CBN tells us about cashless policy yet the govt does the opposite. Alright, why did they not declare the cash with all their documents when entering the country? They planned to steal our cash with an already prepared 'alibi' if they were caught. Yes if you want to steal, you can leave the cash in the most obvious place. If the Nigerian govt wants to buy weapon, it has to be a case of smuggling. LIARS.
Very correct.
Story Story Story.
Hehehehe. Thank you.
And in the end, why did they not declare the cash with the necessary documents before entering the country?
You easily believe tales my friend.
This is just our lie. Out govt is a big thief same with CAN president
Na wa o! So what happened to electronic tranfer? This administration is truely reckless.
M-O-N-E-Y L-A-U-N-D-E-R-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These lies don't hold water. Smuggling in cash. The developed world will not accept stolen cash from third world countries, so South Africa seems to be an option. Jonathan, I know say even if all Nigeria nor vote you 2015 but make you just know say we all know say you too low, corrupt and you nor even smart at all. So so catch dem dey catch you GEJ. And you nor even sharp.

Fuck you black Tee,moronic son of a crack whore and a hundred demons!
Red Tee,kudos to your detailed comment.1 love
It seems nigerians now kn a lot abt harms dealings that dey kn where 2 take cash to wen buying arms be careful wat u say cos u neva might kn who is listening. Federal govt said dey own d money dats enough provE mind u if u say u dnt trust nigeria dat means u dnt also trust urself or ur family and probably ur generation. Its nt d government or policy dat makes up d country but d individuals. # just saying# wise. Up friends
Clowns!
We have thousands of people with ideas that should be able to liberate our great country from its present economic woes and poverty yet no source of capital.
There is God Ooooo!
Best comment eva....why carry cash to purchase harm? SMH
anonymous y is the president fraternizing with criminals and criminality
OMG!!! @ Anon 1:57pm...really????!!! #sawdustforbrains
At Anon 5:28PM...yup! Thank you!!! We have unfortunately told them clearly that we are stupid and it's sooooo easy to cook up the most ridiculous responses cos hey they ain't gonna do s**t!
Tee you have said it all. Nigerians are intelligent. Jonathan is just shameless.
Dumn ass mofo. Oponu. I suppose shit on your head with this stupid comment.
Lmao @ wear chain like nigga raw! That's exactly what I think of when I see dude...looking like an old school rapper...Eric B and Rakim looking cat. Smh!
Bro/Sis...sorry to say but WE are the problem! Even a lower primate of lesser intellect can tell we have sycophantic, selfish and myopic people for leaders. That's no question! The issue is what the hell are WE THE PEOPLE in a supposed democracy....doing about all these shenanigans???! Gist gist gist...can you imagine....OMG!!!...blah blah blah...next! Even Amaechi said it that we allow them get away with these things. Don't worry by Independence Day we would all be soooo over it. Head to the beach, to our parties, pop our champagne and dance to Davido..and all will be right in the world again. Yay! ;)
Ahn ahn...but Jona know say whether e sharp or not and dem catch am we no go do anything now. We go just dey talk dey go. Shikena!
Nkan n be!! story for the gods!
Why didn't they have these docs with them? Abeg no be today, we all know Mama Peace is well known for transporting large sums of foreign currency on private charters (doesn't use the Presidential fleet to avoid detection) when taking money to get "cleaned" in SA. All this na storyyyy. But see how dem dey spend our money sha
So no more monetary transfer(raw cash).CAN President now deal in extra business outside the church (link with arms purchase) dats very gud. NAIJA I hale ...Just a matter of time. "falsehood is bound to perish" Q17:81
This is ridiculous! yet they are telling us about cashless policy.
I understand why we Nigerians are jaded but we don't have to throw away all objectivity.
Before I present some points that we ought to consider, let me state clearly that I am not condoning the approach nor am I saying Jonathan or his administration are clean - I neither have concrete evidence to confirm or refute such an assertion. However, assuming that Jonathan were clea and all this is above board, here are some points that an objective audience should consider.
If, as some recent reports suggest, there are high ranking members of the political class, military and central bank are the driving force behind the BH debaucle, what means is available to the government to equip the military without BH and their sponsors knowing? Using a covert operation through private procurement may be the only way. Well, it is no longer covert but it may have been a good play assuming Jonathan is clean of course.
Why is everyone shouting that a CAN plane is in use? Yes, the plane may be owned by a company on which the head of CAN has a stake (or controlling interest) but the plane was said to have been leased by someone else. When companies like BA lease planes to fly their route to Naija, I don't see anyone shouting when contraband is brought into the country by such planes that the company that leased the planes to BA is responsible. Not an adequate analogy but, as it will be clearly ridiculous to accuse the leasing company and not the lessee, the same should hold true in this case.
Again, this is assuming that Jonathan is clean. It is a possibility we never consider as a nation but, there is a chance however small, that these are the acts of a clean, desperate but naive leader.
Let's here the responses of the objective.
to FUNSHO Samuel, what bizness does FG gat with CAN,
Now that its clear we thank God and some fools like El-Rufai,Lai Mohammed and Dino Melaye can go hang themselves now.
All of you attacking Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor here on LIB can as well jump into the lagoon, the man is a MAN OF GOD stop playing with fire. Don't be quick to judge. God bless our great country Nigeria and God bless CAN.

Ayo is a criminal, he should be ashamed of himself for getting himself into such scandal. This isn't his first time of doing this; God has just exposed him.
You're so lobotomized to believe God punishes people for saying the, He rather lives judgement for people like you who hides from the truth. What connection does Christianity have with politics? Use your brain if you have and stop being foolish
