Among those who answered questions were Oke and some top officials of the agency.
According to This Day, the suspended NIA DG told the committee, that he wrote a memo to the National Security Adviser (NSA) on the $43 million for covert operations.
He also insisted he informed the NSA, Maj.-Gen. Babagana Monguno, who is a member of the committee, about the money.
“Oke gave a spirited defence of his career and said there was no ill-motive behind the cash.
“At the end of it all, Oke was heard saying ‘I did my best before the committee. I have left the rest to God,” a source said.
He added: “What the committee did was to sieve through heaps of documents submitted by the EFCC and the NIA on the $43.4million.
“Some of the documents include findings at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on some companies engaged by the intelligence agency.
“After analysing these documents, the committee started interacting with some top officials of NIA. Thereafter at about 5.40pm, the interaction with Oke then started.
“Oke took longer time because he brought the list of projects being executed, the designs, contract papers and mode of payment.”
