Group questions Chief of Army Staff, Maj. Gen. Buratai’s non-inclusion in arms deal probe
The Save The Nation Movement (STNM) has questioned the rationale
behind the exclusion of the Chief of Army Staff, Major General Tukur
Buratai and other top army officers in the ongoing probe of the alleged
involved of some military chiefs in economic and financial
crimes in the management of personnel finances and the purchase of arms
for the prosecution of the war against insurgency, despite that
he (Buratai) was the Defence Head Quarters (DHQ) Director of Procurement between 2012 and 2015.
In a statement issued in Abuja today and signed by its
National Secretary, Mazi Steven O. Chilaka, STNM said it was concerned
that
only Air Force chiefs were listed among those recommended for probe
by the committee established to audit the procurement of arms and
equipment in the armed forces and defence sector from 2007 to 2015.
