NOW THAT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT SOUTH AFRICA IS DIPLOMATICALLY FIGHTING NIGERIA Arms Deal: Plain facts to indicate that South Africa (SA) is playing a dangerous diplomatic evil game against Nigeria. ***Only the politically naive in international relations would assume that the seizure of funds have been accidental and procedural. ***The South African newspaper (City Press) confirmed today that documents found on the two Nigerians and One Israeli had a sign off end-user certificate personally issued by National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki meant for the arms transaction. The certificate included the official list of items to be purchased: ***Implication: The NSA office and relevant officials contacted SA hence the certificate was issued and due process followed. Despite this, SA seized the money and announced the transaction via the media. ***Fact: SA National Prosecuting Authority admitted according to City Press that an invoice was raised in SA for helicopters and armaments intended to be used in Nigeria with the $9.3m as the fund to consummate the purchase. ***Implication: since the arms invioce was raised in SA, the SA govt was fully aware, yet it sent its customs, journalists and officials to way lay the covet operatives. This was a premeditated diplomatic infraction aimed deliberately at ridiculing Nigeria. ***On the second seizure of $5.7m, it’s even more regrettable and un-African It is confirmed that Cererus, a duly registered arms company with the SA National Arms Conventional Control Committee, officially received R60m (sixty million rand) from a Nigerian company to buy arms, but the company’s registration expired shortly after the bank transaction. The company applied for re-registration but SA refused to grant the request, leaving the application to lie fallow for two months. The company tried to effect a refund over the failed supply, but SA govt stepped in and seized the money and frustrated the bank transfer. If the first was cash, the second was through official bank transaction. ***Implication: The SA govt deliberately denied the company re-registrationn so it could seize the money and as planned release the information to the media to achieve a hatched scheme to stand in the way of Nigeria. NOTE: these facts are incontrovertible. The only point that stands out is the division in Nigeria where opposition and pro-opposition elements work to denigrate Nigeria without objectively analysing the situation. The second deal was not a cash transaction, yet SA got a court to order the seizure of the money. ACTION: It is high time Nigeria took definite action against the SA and their deliberate diplomatic infractions to frustrate our war on terror. Nigerians will recall the Yellow Card diplomatic slap and how the FG retaliation resolved the matter. SA stand to lose more in the event of full diplomatic confrontation. This is the time to hit back. As usual, we will expert opposition elements and their colleagues to support SA and their government. Their sponsored media associates will start singing the familiar tune and SA will be further emboldened to continue their ugly diplomatic infractions.
