He spoke through his lawyer, Mr. Ahmed Raji (SAN).
He stated that not all the funds in the NSA office were spent on the purchase of arms to fight Boko Haram.
It stated that part of the funds was spent on miscellaneous items such as refreshment and office maintenance.
Dasuki’s lawyer denied a report that the former NSA implicated some people in the statement he made at the EFCC on Wednesday.
Raji stated, “I was with Dasuki yesterday (Wednesday) and wish to make categorical statement that my client never made any statement of such nature or naming anybody or group in any statement.
“Quote me anywhere, Dasuki has not done anything like that. It is absolutely untrue. It is the figment of the imagination of the authors aimed at creating falsehood for reasons best known to them and Nigerians should disregard them.
“They are just out to scandalise the man, bring his image and character into disrepute so that his friends and well wishers can run away from him. They want him deserted and that will fail.”
A publication on Thursday claimed that Dasuki listed ex-governors and Peoples Democratic Party chiefs in the $2bn arms deals.
It was reported that not all funds in Office of the National Security Adviser were related to arms’ procurement.
It stated, “The ONSA manages several funds for national security and other special interventions, which are not related to Boko Haram arms procurement.’’
